I have an iPhone 15 and a 10th gen iPad. My iPad battery is at 15% and my phones battery is at 80%. I’m trying to charge my iPad with my phone but no matter what I do, my iPad charges my phone. I’ve unplugged both sides separately, both at the same time, switched the cord around and nothing is working. Is there somewhere I can change this is settings?

As your iPad requires a power source rated at least 12W to reliably charge, your iPhone is unable to output sufficient power to charge your iPad.
