I have no trouble pairing both my iPad and iPhone to external speakers or other devices, but they will not pair to each other.
I have an iPhone 8 and an iPad Air 2.
They “see” each other on the list of devices to select, but my iPhone gives me the message “pairing unsuccessful, XXX iPad is not supported.”
What can I do to fix this?
iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi

Nothing to fix.
iOS devices cannot pair to each other. This is by design.
What are you trying to accomplish exactly?
All things that require bluetooth on iOS devices do not require direct pairing.

The connection for those types of uses, should happen directly in the Apps that use them.
What baby monitor App are you using?
Look for Bluetooth settings directly within the app.
Looking at the wbesite, it looks like it should just automatically find other devices running the App over bluetooth when Wifi is not available.
Try turning off Wifi on both devices, and open the app, and see if they connect.
Did not know that!
it’s to run a baby monitor app that said in the description that if WiFi was unavailable you could pair your iPad to iPhone via Bluetooth to continuously watch the baby.
It’s called cloud baby monitor. I looked for a Bluetooth setting with in the app, but am not finding anything.
I’ll keep messing around.
Thank you!
