iPods won’t charge

Not sure. I do have my iPad set up to receive SMS messages from my iPhone, but it's rare when the iPad is self turned off, and rarer still when I delete a message before it appears on the iPad. (And on my Mac.)

You'll have to let us know what happened when the iPad is turned back on.

Welcome to iMore

Curious about the outcome as well

I have an iPhone X and an iPad. They are both linked. If I receive a sms message on my iPhone but my iPad is dead at the time will that message still show up on the iPad when it’s turned on? Will it pop up as a new message? I deleted the message from my iPhone but I don’t have the iPad with me and don’t want someone to see the message if they charge the iPad.
The iPad has been dead for about a week. I had iMessages turned off on my iPhone I believe when I got the 2 messages.

SMS message? No, it will not.

SMS message? No, it will not.

Yea it was a sms message of a verification number for a site.

Just tried it. If, like me, you have Settings / iCloud (your name at the top of settings) / iCloud / Messages turned on, then the message will never reach the iPad.

So it looks like you changed your post after a few replies.

If your devices won't charge, you either have a (1) bad charger, (2) bad cable, (3) bad charge port on your device, or (4) no power on the outlet your charger is connected to.

or (3a) dirty charging port. Sometimes gently cleaning out dust with the tip of a wooden toothpick will fix charging problems.
