Why is my iPad Pro not recognizing my iPhone 13 pro max but recognizing other devices to airdrop?

Since today morning my iPad Pro isn’t identifying my iPhone 13 pro max even though it’s very close to each other and both the devices have turned on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Airdrop ( Everyone ) . The iPad recognizes other devices except for my iPhone but my iPhone recognizes all the devices including the iPad Pro. This is quite a issue because I can’t airdrop from my iPad to iPhone and also both the devices are having the newest IOS and iPadOS. If you can give a answer it’ll be a immense help. Thank you
