iPad is no longer using phone number for iMessages

I Changed my password for my Apple ID and now my iPads and phone don't share/sync text messages. My phone will message with my phone number but my iPads, iMac message with an email address. I want everything to use my phone number again. How do I fix this?

I literally ran into the same issue myself yesterday! The fix, thankfully, is simple. Grab both devices and go to Settings > Messages and turn off Messages, then do the same for FaceTime. Then go back and turn on both FaceTime and iMessage on both devices. When turning FaceTime and iMessage back on, I'd start with your iPhone and make sure you tap "Use my Apple ID for FaceTime/iMessage" which will enable you to use the phone number on your iPad as well.

If messages still aren't syncing an hour after doing that, go back and turn off FaceTime and iMessage again on both devices, then restart the devices (hold the Sleep/Wake button, slide the slider, wait for the device to turn off, then hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo). Wait 15 minutes, and then turn on FaceTime and iMessage once more on both devices and it should work for you!

You will need to update the password on your iPad. You will also want to check that your phone number is selected as the from address for iMessages in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

I Have changed my password on all my apples devices, and although on my phone "send and receive messages" does have my phone number listed, my iPads do not. It does not give me the option. To add a phone number, it just lists two email addresses.

So on your iPhone, in Settings > iMessage > Send & Receive, do you see your Apple ID email address at the top of the screen?

Please check the same place on your iPads as well and let me know what you find.

This really did it for me! The key was to sign out of both devices to get my iPad to start conversations with my phone number.

Thank you!
