How do you sync an iPad to an iPhone?

So nothing comes up when I try to sync my iPad to an iPhone from my iPad. It’s always the other way around and I really need help with it.


iPad mini 6, iPadOS 16

Assuming that both your iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID, to synchronise your devices via iCloud, you must ensure that you have correctly configured both device to use iCloud:


Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud - enable Apps and Apple Services that you wish to synchronise between devices



More information about using iCloud can be found within the iCloud User Guide:
