Bluetooth pairing from macbook Air M2 (Sonoma 14.3.1) to Ipad Pro no longer works. Message says it is not supported. Anyone else having or had this problem - if so, how do I fix it? I need to use handoff.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.7

Bluetooth pairing an iPhone or iPad and a Mac is not supported. 

 

If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity or AirDrop, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: Use Handoff to continue tasks on your other devices - Apple Support
