iPads don't support Bluetooth File Transfer. Try using Google Drive or something. iPads do support AirDrop, which is only available on Apple devices...

Unable to file transfer from Android 13 to MacOS 13.1 (22C65) via bluetooth Sending files from Android 13 via Bluetooth has been working for over a year but recently stopped. When I try to send a file to the MacBook Pro M1 (MacOS 13.1), I get an error message in Outbound File Transfers on my Android device that says "Connection Unsuccessful". There have been a few MacOS updates as well as Android security patches, however, this used to work before. I checked that my phone is connected to MacOS via Bluetooth I re-paired my phone with MacOS I checked the Sharing|Bluetooth options and configured what to do when a file is received I verified that my phone can send files to my tablet and vice versa just fine Verified that using File Exchange I can send files from MacOS to my android device (so the connection is working) Has this been disabled with the latest version of MacOS? Thanks.

IPhone 7 using Bluetooth I cannot send files via Bluetooth from Windows 10 to my iPhone 7. They are definitely connected but once I select the file to transfer I get the following error message: Windows was unable to send some files Make sure your bluetooth connection is working properly and your computer is within range of the bluetooth device or bluetooth enabled computer you are trying to transfer files within. To try again click the back arrow. I hope this feature (bluetooth) is supported as searching the web seems otherwise.....

iPhone and Bluetooth? I am trying to use Bluetooth to share files to/from my iPhone SE (first edition) and my MacBook Pro which is running Mojave (macOSX 10.14.6). The Bluetooth pane shows that they are connected, but no option to send from the computer to the iPhone shows up.
