Messages not syncing between devices

On 1-16-24 messages stopped syncing between iPhone and iPad. I’ve tried lots! Just updated both devices too but that did not help.

iPad, iPadOS 17

You've either altered your Apple ID on a device or turned off Text Message Forwarding.


On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding. If you can't see Text Message Forwarding, go to Settings > Messages. Turn off iMessage, then turn it back on. Tap Send & Receive, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage, then sign in with the same Apple ID used on your other devices.
