Receiving iMessage messages on iPad but not iPhone.

I’m having an issue with certain conversations where I can send messages from my iPhone, but I don’t see any responses. At first, I thought I was being ignored by several people, but then I opened my iPad and noticed they had responded there. In the affected conversations on my iPhone, there is no “Delivered” notice under the message.


For reference, I’m on iOS 17.4.1.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

Make sure you have iCloud sync for all your devices. On both your devices, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Messages and make sure Use on this device is on. That will ensure that device is receiving your messages across iCloud.
