Assuming that you are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID on both iPad and iPhone - ensure that you have enabled Messages in iCloud. It is iCloud that provides synchronisation services between your devices.


On iPad and iPhone:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > Messages - set to ON
