Apple nerds: I’ve encountered an issue with Messages on my iPad Pro (LTE) that I simply can’t debug. In short, I’ve done every typical troubleshooting routine INCLUDING resetting the iPad and deleting backups. Apple support was no help.

The problem: my iPad splits apart message threads that include an Android user. See this image: https://imgur.com/a/Nmrjn7L

This does not happen on my Mac. Text message forwarding is enabled. Everything is up to date. No betas. Same Apple ID.

Any thoughts?
