Hello cqskie,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with some messages not showing on your iPad. The related article at the top of the page is a great place to start. Have you tried restarting both your iPhone and iPad to see if that resolves the issue?


Restart your iPhone

Restart your iPad


If that doesn't help, check out the setting here: Access your messages on all your Apple devices


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
