Trouble with controlling nearby devices

I am having issues with my phone connecting to my iPad through the “control nearby devices” option in the accessibility list. I’m logged in on the same account and WiFi network but it just says searching. Can anybody suggest a fix to this issue? TIA

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

83% is close to Apple's suggested 80% for replacing the battery. And three years is when a battery degrades such that it's unable to provide sufficient power for the iPhone to function normally.


...So the somewhat weak battery may be the reason for the "Searching..." — or it may not. If it were me, I would have the aging battery replaced and see if that fixes the problem. Or you could contact Apple:
