Bluetooth not working on iPad 8

When I turn my Bluetooth on on my iPad it just says DEVICES with the gear icon next to it going round and round and will not find any of my devices.

The Bluetooth device that you are attempting to pair with your iPad must be placed into discovery/pairing-mode.


Your Bluetooth device should have instructions for triggering the pairing process. Until you do so, compatible devices will not appear in the device list.
