iMessages is not syncing between the Mac, ipad and iPhone.

As heading. Settings properly set. Phone reset. No joy. Could it be that my iPad mini runs on 12.5.7 and later updates are not supported whilst my iphone runs on 15.7.8

The Messages app on an iPhone handles iMessages, SMS messages, and MMS messages. Macs and iPads don't have cellular text message service. So if you're trying to send and receive SMS and MMS messages on your Mac and iPad, they need a little help from your iPhone:
