Unless you're trying to Tether, they won't find/pair with each other. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone.


There are some apps in the app store that permit this, but both iPhone & iPad need to be running the app.

Hi friend,


As we know, iphones and/or iPads cannot be paired.


If you want to share something by bluetooth you need to search for a good app that you will be able to pair by bluetooth (and follow the instructions).


I haven't tried it before, but Blueme is the most voted in Apple Store. For me, is useless to share information by bluetooth, it is a mess to share...


I am sharing pr\hotos by chat apps. Music and ringtones I just download them from internet and sync with iTunes.
