Cannot forward text messaging thru iPad Air 2

I attempted to enable the option to forward texts from my iPhone to my iPad.
When it failed, I learned that I needed to enable email to be transmitted through the iCloud email address.
Once I enabled that, the option still didn't work.
So I powered off both my iPhone and iPad. Once I powered it back on, the option to forward completely disappeared!

My iPad is on version 8.2. My iPhone is on version 8.1

Any ideas?
