Just got an iPhone x. Text messages arrive on phone and do not show up on my iPad like they did with old iPhone. Or show up on iPad and not on phone. How do I get them to show up on both devices?

iPhone X, iOS 11

Sign in on both devices with the same Apple ID. On the iPhone, go to settings>phone>messages>turn on iMessage>text message forwarding>select your device.


To receive calls on your iPad, go to iPhone settings>cellular>wifi calling (turn on and enter your 911 emergency address)> calls on other devies>tap iPad
