Hello Magoochy,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


If I understand your post correctly you are unable to send messages to a specific contact from your iPad. To start troubleshooting this issue I suggest that you go through the steps outlined below.


Check the recipient's contact info

  1. Make sure that you're using the right phone number or email address.
  2. Go to Settings > Messages > Blocked and make sure that they're not on your block list.

Delete existing conversations

If you can't send messages to a certain recipient, delete any conversations you have with them and try sending a new message. When you delete a conversation, you won’t be able to recover it. Make sure that you take a screenshot or forward any messages that you want to keep.

Restart your device and check for updates

  1. Restart your device.
  2. Check for a carrier settings update.
  3. Check for an iOS software update.

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Take care.
