Cannot connect bluetooth with Iphone

Hello.

I cant pair my Iphone X with an 5 th gen Ipad with bluetooth.


Could previous do that to connect my Ipad „wifi only“ to the internet through the cellular network on my Iphone by bluetooth, but now both devices cannot find each other on BT anymore. Is it a marketing thing from Apple for consumers to buy Ipads with wifi and cellular network?

iPad Wi-Fi, iOS 11.3.1, a Brydge 9.7 keyboard on wish list.

Good morning svenne74,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand you are trying to connect an iPhone X with an iPad via Bluetooth. These iOS devices are not designed to communicate with each other in this way. You can use your iPhone X as a hotspot for your iPad to connect to the internet if you wish.

A Personal Hotspot lets you share the cellular data connection of your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) when you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network.

Take care.
