Assuming that both your iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same Apple Account (formerly known as your AppleID), to synchronise your devices via iCloud, you must ensure that you have correctly configured both device to use iCloud:


Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > [Saved to iCloud] See All - enable Apps and Apple Services that you wish to synchronise between devices



More information about using iCloud can be found within the iCloud User Guide:
