How Does iMessage Work on My iPad Without a SIM Card?

Hey everyone! I'm really new to using my iPad, and I mostly just use it for drawing. I don't have a SIM card in it and I'm only on Wi-Fi. But recently, I sent a text from my Samsung phone to someone, and then their reply showed up in the iMessages app on my iPadโ€”completely missing from my phone. How did that happen? Is iMessage linked to my phone number or email? And how do I turn it off? I can't find any settings for it in the app, so I could really use some guidance!

To check if iMessage is on your iPad, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage. Make sure itโ€™s selected. Thatโ€™s where you can turn it on or off if needed!

ArtisticGiraffe92: Thanks for that! Iโ€™ll check it out. Just to clarify, I donโ€™t see 'Messages' in my settings, does that matter?
