Universal Control Not Working

*Macbook Pro Late 2020 13'' and iPad Pro 2021 12.9''*

I updated my MacBook to new MacOS Monterey and my iPad to the newest iPadOS 15.1

I tried to place my iPad next to my MacBook but I can't move the cursor between two devices. I've also tried to turn off/on Handoff on both devices.

I chatted with customer service from Apple, they asked me to send them a screenshot of the Bluetooth on the System report, after a while they told me my MacBook is compatible with Universal Control feature, but my Bluetooth on the device not compatible so I can't use Universal Control.

What does it mean? Does anyone know how to solve it?

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

I don't know who you talked with when you contacted Apple Support, however, the information that you have from them is NOT correct. Universal Control is a feature of macOS Monterey, however, it is NOT activated with the first release. It will be activated in a near future macOS update. At this time, no matter what you do, Universal Control will not work until the future update.

Axel is correct. Apple announced that Universal Control will not be available on iPad with the iPadOS 15 release. They did commit, however, to a later release this autumn.
