Enable MMS on iPad ?

I Am having the exact same problem. I saw the option on iPhone but not iPad. I'm up to date on updates. I've sent and received photos in the past. What's up?

On your iPhone:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Navigate to Messages -> Text Message Forwarding.
3. Turn if off for the device refusing to send the MMS (in this case, your iPad).
4. After 30 seconds, turn forwarding back on and follow the instructions given to reauthorize the device.

There is a slightly new process in the newest version of iOS. Here's the tutorial that helped me with the current settings. Text forwarding no longer exists in the iPad iMessage setting. You have to go to your iPhone's iMessage settings and there it will let you specifically allow your iPad to receive forwarded texts from the phone.

SAy way you get a message from your dentist telling you your due for an apt. So touch the senders ID, it should take you to a screen with an envelope top right. Click the envelope to respond. No need to enable anything.

True, but that is sending an email, not a MMS, as the op wants to do.

MMS, like SMS, is a carrier service and unrelated to iMessage. Your iPad, unless you are using continuity services via an iPhone, cannot send anything other than iMessages.

why im not seeing text message forwarding option? pls help me

Wow, so easy. Thank You. Would have never gotten it w/o your help.

I Am having exactly the same issue. Seems to be a discrepancy between Apple and wireless carrier(s). Laziness and in attention to detail. Calling themselves Geniuses does not ensure a smooth interface between hardware and software. Once again left feeling far from a valued customer by companies that make SH**loads of money.
