Sync iPhone and ipad

I’ve not been able to sync my phone texts on my ipad for a month now. I’ve done everything written on line but to no avail. Any other help out there?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hi,


If you want your messages to be backed up to iCloud, and appear on all devices signed into iCloud Settings with the same Apple ID, you must have the option enabled within in Settings > Name > iCloud > Messages should be swiped green. This should be enabled on all devices signed in with the same Apple ID, and this feature is not automatically enabled by default for using iCloud+.


Once you have enabled it on all devices, all messages should appear accordingly.



Hope this helps!
