Connecting your phone to your iPad: How to do it with an iPhone

How to properly connect your iPad to a cell phone depends on what type of smartphone it is. If you use an iPhone, the fastest way to exchange files between the two devices is via AirDrop.

1. To use AirDrop, please first make sure that both your iPad and iPhone have the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions enabled.
2. Then open the app where the content you want to share is located and tap the "Share icon" in it.
3. Select the other Apple device as the destination and tap "Accept" on it to receive the shared file.
4. Alternatively to AirDrop, you can also connect iPhone and iPad via a personal hotspot on the iPhone and in this way use the Internet connection of the device also on the iPad.

How to connect an Android phone with the iPad

On the other hand, if you use a cell phone with Android as the operating system, it is possible, without installing additional software, via Bluetooth to establish a connection with the iPad. To do this, activate the Bluetooth function in the settings of both devices and put them in pairing mode. If the name of the iPad is displayed on your phone, please tap it to connect the devices.
