double check everything

Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac - Apple Support

Is your Bluetooth on, on both the computer and the phone? Also try clicking airdrop on your iPhone and selecting everyone (maybe your phone is not recognizing the computer as a contact if your choosing contacts only option). if that's a no go, try turning airdrop off and back on... Seems simple but it helps sometimes. If still not working, on your computer press cmd and space bar (same time) to bring up search bar or go to finder and search airdrop. That will bring up the extensions. Open that and click share menu > make sure air drop has check next to it. If still not working check to see if your on the same wifi network (It's not required but it sure does help). Still nata, turn off airdrop, wifi and Bluetooth on both devices and turn back on... still no? Hard reset your iPhone (home & power button)... Still happening! Lol check for updates settings > general > Software Updates.... Let me know if anything here helped
