I just upgraded to a 7th generation iPad Air.
I also have an older iPad and iPhone. For some reason I cannot text
a certain individual on the new new iPad but, I can on the other 2 devices.
(Texts to her are In green rather than blue)
Any settings in should be aware of?

Thank you
Mark

Go to Settings>Messages>Send as SMS and make sure it’s turned on. If it isn’t you can’t send a text to someone who doesn’t use iMessage. (That’s why messages to her are green instead of blue.)

I don’t seem to have that option.

I figured out that my new iPad wasn’t included on the list in my phone. DUH
All is good now. Once again,Thank you for your help

If your iPhone is off you can’t send her a text, both have to be on.
