How to make my iPad discoverable

Dear Demo

Thank you for responding to my question. I know that my devices need to have bluetooth turned on. My problem Ian that I accidentally asked my iPhone to ‘forget’ my iPad and now the iPad is not ‘discoverable’ when Bluetooth is turned on. I need to know how to make my iPad discoverable again so that my devices can find each other.

I have done exactly that twice already. No I’m not trying to use my phone as a hotspot. I have WiFi here at home for all my devices. It’s just that I’ve accidentally asked my phone to forget my iPad because I noticed that it suddenly wasn’t listed as being discoverable and I wondered why, so I thought I should forget that device and start again. But my reading online suggests that once you ‘forget’ one device from your iPhone it’s gone forever unless you find a way to make the other device - in this case my iPad - discoverable again.

Apparently there is a way and I’m asking for help to do that. A button I need to push or something like that?

Thank you Diana, I don’t need to communicate between my iPad and iPhone at the moment other than having my photos streamed onto my devices via iCloud. I am simply mystified that until I had asked my iPhone to ‘forget’ My iPad accidently, the iPad was actually listed as discoverable on my iPhone but no longer is.

My reading online suggests that Apple has ensured that once you forget a device it is forgotten permanently, but also that there is a way to make that device discoverable again if you re-pair that device as it was originally done. So my question here is how do I go about re-pairing my iPad to my iPhone or is that what you are saying - that isn’t possible? If that is so then why was it that up till a couple of days ago, my iPhone listed the iPad as discoverable?

thnak you
