iMessage on iPad mini

Im trying to reset my messages since I’m no longer getting them on the iPad. I’ve turned off iMessage rebooted and now when I sign in, I get a message that it cannot access FaceTime server.

iPad mini 4, iPadOS 15

Start here >>> If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support


As for Messages, if you have an iPhone - and both iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - to send SMS/MMS messages from your iPad you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone. Verify these settings:


On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.


Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

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