Showing iPhone battery on iPad widget

I bought the iPad Pro 2020 recently and I have been checking things for a while now. When I tried to include my iPhone's battery in the iPad's widget via Bluetooth, it said that it's not supported. I managed to connect the Bluetooth by turning on Cellular Data and connecting my iPad to my iPhone's Hotspot but the widgets on either devices still doesn't show the other.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

The battery widget only displays the local device battery status - and that of accessory devices that are currently “paired” with it, such as the Apple Pencil and AirPods.
