iPhone and iPad no longer syncing

1. Set up text message forwarding
   1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. On your Mac, open Messages, choose Messages > Preferences, then click iMessage. Make sure that you're signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
   2. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.*
   3. 
   4. Choose which devices can send and receive text messages from your iPhone. If you're not using two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, a verification code appears on each of your other devices: enter that code on your iPhone.

Message syncing from iPhone to iPad stopped working recently, possibly since update to iPadOS 16.3.1. Forwarding preferences have not changed and still look good (checked both phone and iPad)
