Why can't I do airdrop between my IPAD Air and Iphone 5?

I have followed all the directions. Set the permissions to everyone, bluetooth on, touched the share button, have them sitting next to each other, but no icons show up acknowledging the other device.

Is WiFi turned on on both devices?

Have you followed these steps? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204144
