Q: Why do my text messages only show on either my iPhone or my iPad not both?
I send text messages from two different devices - why do they not show up on both? IPhone messages are only iPhone and iPad messages are only on iPad. But I don't have my iPad with me during the day ..... Can they be synced?
Thank you in advance

Follow the directions here - Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support and set up Continuity on both to share iMessages and texts between the two devices.
Continuity will work as long as Bluetooth is turned on with both devices, and both devices are connected to the same wifi network. iMessages will be shared, as will SMS/MMS texts (your phone will actually send and receive those as the iPad cannot do so natively, but then the iPhone will share them with the iPad over wifi).
