AirDrop doesn’t discover iPad

Hello, while using my iPhone 10 airdrop, my iPad does not show up. It use to work all the time then all of a sudden it stopped showing up. Other devices will pop up but I cannot get my iPad to show up. Both devices are up to date, I have WiFi and Bluetooth on, and the airdrop setting is on “everyone”

Thank you

iPad, iOS 13

Before you begin

Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby and within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.
Check that you and the person you're sending to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If either of you have Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
Check if the person you're sending to has their AirDrop set to receive from Contacts Only. If they do, and you’re in their Contacts, they need to have your email address or mobile number in your contact card for AirDrop to work.
If you're not in their Contacts, have them set their AirDrop receiving setting to Everyone in order to receive the file.

You can put your AirDrop receiving setting to Contacts Only or Receiving Off at any time to control who can see your device and send you content in AirDrop.

I did all of that and it still doesn’t work. Other nearby devices will pop up but my iPad won’t anymore.
