Here's the Super Secret Spy Technique (well, not that secret)

  1. Become One with the Force (a.k.a. iCloud): Make sure both your iPhone and iPad are signed into the same iCloud account. Think of it as the magic handshake that unlocks the door to remote control mastery.

  2. Wi-Fi Whisperer: Both your devices need to be whispering sweet nothings to the same Wi-Fi network. This is how they'll telepathically communicate your ingenious commands.

  3. Activate Accessibility (Because Superpowers Sometimes Need Help): Head over to Settings > Accessibility on your iPhone. This isn't about limitations, my friend, it's about unleashing hidden potential!

  4. Find Your Padawan (a.k.a. Your iPad): Look for "Control Nearby Devices" and tap it like you mean business. Your iPad should magically appear on the screen, ready to be your remote-controlled apprentice.

  5. Behold! The Remote Control Forcefield: Tap on your iPad's name, and a mini iPad screen will appear on your iPhone. This, my friend, is your portal to power!
