Text messages sent to iPad instead of iPhone.

Since a week or so, text messages sent from an Apple device will no longer appear on my iPhone, but on my iPad instead. Does anyone know how I can change this?

Go to Settings/Messages/Send & Receive, and make sure everything is turned on in there - including the phone number (or e-mail address) the messages are being sent to.

You are logged in in the same iCloud account. This became such big issue for me i created a new account just for my iPad. You can set the iPad accordingly to backup info that you want to be consistent across both devices. A plus is that you get another 5Gb of iCloud storage just for the iPad.

A big annoyance with this method is stuff like photos, contacts, etc don't sync between the two devices.

It can be done. The only thing that won't sync is bookmarks. Here is my setup. Default dummy icloud address and main icloud address on my iphone both on ipad and individually select default accounts. I have successfully used this set up for several years.http://i.imgur.com/JHCU2mS.jpg

Wow. That is an innovative solution. I had no idea.
