Syncing text messages with multiple devices

I just got an iPad Pro—all of my text messages show up on it -except for one contact. Her texts only show up on my IPhone. How can I make her texts show on my I pad as well.

On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.


Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
