iOS 27 unable to send messages to android devices. I am able to receive messages

I am using an iPad. Google talks about configuring “send text”. Ie ?I do not have that opion?.

my problem started after i upgrade to iOS 26.7

I have wasted several hours on this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

you need an iphone and have this set up Forward text messages from your iPhone to other devices - Apple Support an ipad itself can only send imessage to other Apple devices.
