Hello willis274,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you would like to stop syncing messages from your iPhone to your iPad. I would be happy to help.

If you use Messages in iCloud it syncs iMessages between your iPad and iPhone using iCloud. Here's how to turn that feature off from your settings: Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support

If you aren't using messages in iCloud, you can disable iMessage on the iPad, which would stop syncing the messages between devices. That can be found in Settings > Messages.

If these are SMS/MMS that you would like to stop having synced to the iPad, turn off text forwarding following the steps in this resource: How to forward SMS/MMS texts on your iPhone - Apple Support

Cheers!
