iOS 12 new iMessage camera effects missing

Just to be clear:

Can you kindly let us know the model of both iPads by going to

Settings>General>About> Model on both iPads please? sberman was really trying to help you.

I take it these are the filters that you see when you launch in iMessage, right?

From the iPhone User Guide:

Shows "what" supported???

• Filters? As I show above, the iPhone User Guide says they're supported "on supported models". And, as I show you in the second shot, the iPhone 6S Plus is not a supported model. So it's nice that you have any filters at all.
• The specific filters you're talking about? No, I don't believe they are addressed anywhere in the User Guide.

I predict you do not have identical model iPads - check Settings > General > About > Model on both iPads.

Anyway, I've told you all I can.

Good luck.

So you're doing this, and you don't see the filters?

And by the way, the iPad User Guide provides this list of "supported models", which excludes the original iPad Pro.

If you're talking about animoji and/or memoji, these require an iPhone X or later.

What iMessage camera effects are you referring to? Please explain.

Tap the star shaped button when you launch camera within iMessage.

Undoubtedly these filters are not supported on your older iPhone.
