I have mms messaging enable on my iPhone but not able to find a place in messages to add. I’ve read that I should go to settings/messages/text message forwarding. There is no setting for text message forwarding on my iPad Air 4th generation iOS 15.6.1. Can anyone help please?
thanks.
iPad Air, iPadOS 15
You have to set everything up through the iPhone, itself.
The iPad just acts as a wireless remote data transfer device to the iPhone.
No iPad is an iPhone/smartphone.
To send/receive cell calls and SMS messages on an iPad, you need to pair/tether an iPad to an iPhone to be able to do this using cell call and SMS message forwarding.

I have them synced together already but I’ll check out the articles. Thanks for your help!
All MMS/SMS messaging features are all, largely, setup on the iPhone and NOT on the iPad.
It was what to do if text message forwarding didn’t show on iPad that I needed to know. Last article addressed
that . Thanks !
