and your iPad — it must be the same iCloud account on both. </li> <li>From your <strong>iPhone</strong>, launch the <strong>Settings app</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Messages</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Text Message Forwarding</strong>. </li> <li>Turn <strong>On</strong> the option for forwarding to your <strong>iPad</strong> — remember you will only see it listed if it's signed into the same iCloud account. </li> <li>The <strong>Messages app</strong> on your iPad should prompt you with a code.

SMS relay will now be enabled on your iPad and you should start receiving regular green bubble texts alongside your iMessages. You can also send regular text messages from your iPad now, not just receive them. Just compose a message like you would any other time and your iPad can automatically identify whether or not it should send an iMessage or a text.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28175"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='
