On your iPad, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, and turn on Messages to sync with iCloud. Then, on your phone, ensure iCloud for Messages is enabled in the same manner. Messages should then sync across devices. For non-Apple phones, use a third-party app like iExplorer or AnyTrans, which can transfer messages from your iPad to your phone, regardless of its operating system.
