Can’t respond to a specific group text on iPad only

I can’t respond to a specific group text on my iPad only. However, I am able to respond to the same message on my iPhone.

I have restarted my iPad a few times & it didn’t help.

I have the iPad Pro & am using iOS 18.3.1

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Your ipad can only respond to a group imessage, all Apple device users.

In order to respond to MMS mix Apple and non Apple devices you need to set up text forwarding on your iphone as outlined here Continuity features and requirements for Apple devices - Apple Support
