in past week, I have been getting alerts asking if I want to receive notifications on my iPad from “Random” with different addresses, as seen in pictures. I obviously click “do not allow” but worried someone is trying to compromise my iPad. It has happened at different locations.
Any idea where this is coming from and should I be concerned?
iPad Air, iPadOS 18
That sounds like someone is trying to mirror your iPad's notifications to another device, so go to Settings > Bluetooth and disconnect/forget any unfamiliar devices, and also check Settings > General > AirPlay & Handoff to ensure "Handoff" is only enabled for your own devices.

Thanks so much for response.
I don’t see any unfamiliar Bluetooth devices, so I guess that’s good.
When I go to settings for Handoff, it doesn’t specify which devices it will use, the choices are on or off.
I am leaving it on b/c I switch between my iPhone and iPad often, but if it keeps happening, I will switch it off and see if that fixes it.
Keep Getting Alert “Allow Random [MAC address] to Receive Notifications”
