I Just upgraded to iPhone6 and now I no longer get all of my texts on both my phone and iPad. How can I sync them back up?

    Hello romare,

     

     

    If, after getting a new iPhone, your SMS and MMS messages are no longer appearing on your iPad, it may be due to incorrect settings for Continuity. Continuity is what allows you to see your SMS and MMS messages on your iPad and Mac.

     

    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.

    1. Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    2. On your iPhone: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address. Then, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    3. Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

    Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support
