How does AirDrop work?

Check both devices sending and receiving have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth switched on Make sure any Personal Hotspots are turned off Make sure both devices are within 9 metres (30 feet) of each other If set to receive from Contacts Only, both devices must be signed in to iCloud, and the email address or phone number associated with the sender’s Apple ID must be in the Contacts app of the receiving device. If you see Receiving Off on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and can’t tap to change it: Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps > Make sure that AirDrop is turned on. On Mac, Choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Click the Firewall tab > Click the lock > Enter your password when asked > Click Firewall Options > Deselect “Block all incoming connections”.
