iPad Air 2 4th Gen does not receive group messages

I’m not receiving a group text on my iPad - just my iPhone. I have a WiFi only on my iPad but there are no options in “Messages” to turn on MMS Messaging or “Send as SMS” (I honestly don’t know what the difference is) like my iPhone has. Is there a way for this group text to also show on my iPad?
