Share wifi password via air drop

Hello, I have followed all of the steps to share a wifi password with no luck, anyone have problems or know of any tricks?

Both phones have our contacts added and icloud account.

We've be able to share photos via airdrop as a test.

Thanks!

Airdrop users on ipads I am new to the Apple iPads, and a senior. Can anyone tell me if airdrop only works in your own home, that is to share files, videos, and pictures between lets say your iPhone , iPads, or your apple desktop, or perhaps you have others visiting with apple devices, and they want to receive the airdrop information as well. What I was hoping to do was to send a large number of photos, and the occasional video to my sister, who lives in a small town approx. 35 miles from us. She too has an ipad, and we have, I believe our settings set up properly. Blue tooth, and Wifi turned on, and receiving from anyone. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Wifi Sharing My phone doesn't show up when trying to share wifi, even with my last phone (the x) I wouldn't show up on others' phones. Also with airdrop, my contact doesn't show up to people who have me, only my phone ID, don't know if it's connected.
