Maybe reboot your device. You should get you current iMessages the way you have it set.
I'll try that and see! Do others need to have "iMessage" in order for me to receive their texts on my wifi iPad? I've had my iPad since Tuesday and no texts on it!
In my experience, if the person texting you isn't using an Apple device, it won't show up on a wifi only device. My brother has an android phone and his texts only go to my phone and watch. Everyone else's texts also go to my iPad.
Hi, genius! That totally worked! I got all my messages!
Woot woot! Thank you!I have a 10.5 but haven't turned on the LTE yet. Once I turned on iMessage, new text messages (non-iMessage) started to appear. But, existing text messages on other devices did not sync. iMessages from the other device did sync. And so do.
Green bubble people won't show up on your iPad unless you go to your phone and enable forwarding of SMS to that new iPad specifically. This will generate a code pop up on the iPad that you type into the phone to connect them.
Blue bubble people should show on your iPad fine based on your screenshot. Maybe just need to reboot. And make sure your phone and iPad are logged into the same apple/iCloud user account (I can't verify that from your screenshot).

Glad I could help.Hi, genius! That totally worked! I got all my messages!
Thanks OP and commenters! Due to this thread I was finally able to fix my setup to get SMS android texts on my iPad too!
