Files are synchronised between devices via iCloud. Ensure that both your iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same Apple Account (AppleID), then from settings on both devices:

Settings > [Your Name / Apple Account] > iCloud > [Saved to iCloud] See All >


Enable Apps and Apple services that you wish to synchronise.
