Hi lisaosm,


Head to the settings app on both your iPad and iPhone and click on “Accessibility.” It should be in the third section of the settings area.


Then, scroll down to the “Physical and motor” section. There, you’ll see “Switch Control,” which is likely set to “Off.”

Click the toggle bar so that it changes to “On.”


Now, set your iPad aside; you’ll perform this last step on your iPhone.


Beneath “Switch Control,” you’ll see a clickable “Switches” line. If you already have other devices here from the past, it’ll indicate the number of them.


In either case, you’ll need to click on “Switches” and select “Device” followed by “Use Other Device.”


From there, an iPad icon should appear. Click it, followed by “Connect.” You’re now ready to use your iPhone to control your iPad.
