Is my iPad 10.3 too old to connect via airdrop from my iPhone 8 ios 14.8. I can’t get them to connect via Bluetooth. They are both on a home wifi connection. Much appreciate any help!

Greetings ochre,
We understand that you're attempting to AirDrop between your iPad and iPhone.
You’re correct that your devices will not connect via Bluetooth, but using AirDrop to share files between the two should work. You will need to make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on both devices and that Personal Hotspot is disabled on both.
What happens when you attempt to use AirDrop? If you’re not seeing the other device, does that happen no matter which device you’re sharing from? Could you please also test setting your AirDrop options to Everyone? You’ll see how to do that in ‘How to adjust AirDrop settings’ here - How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thank you.
