Hey there Mystr-T,


An iPhone and an iPad aren't meant to pair together in the same way a Bluetooth accessory would to either device. While the AirDrop feature incorporates Bluetooth, this isn't the same process. In case you needed it, this shows more details about using AirDrop with both devices: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad


If you still had questions that aren't answered after reading through that entire article, what exactly are you attempting to do? The more details you provide, the better we'll understand what's happening.


Cheers!
