Ipad mini 6 - no sidebar in messages

Messages app on my wife's Ipad Mini 6 does not have messages listed in the sidebar on the left. She wants it to look like her Iphone - will a list of messages on the left side. How can I make this change?

The iPad appears to only have 5 conversations all of which are pinned.


If she wants to see them listed instead of as circular bubbles, she would need to unpin them.


Tap and hold on each conversation until the menu shows up, and then tap on "Unpin", to unpin the conversation. It will then be listed below the Pinned conversations. Repeat for the rest of the conversations.
