I figured it out. It was one of the worst problems I have faced. And there is no answer online.

so let me explain it’s not allowed to airdrop by default in my case.

so for other people the airdrop option is in settings<General><Airdrop>.it wasn’t for me.

i had to go to restrictions but in new iOS there is no restriction option in settings.

if anyone else is facing this problem.

goto settings then screen time and after that content and privacy restrictions.

press allowed apps and turn on your airdrop!

now it works.

and the thing I hate the most is there is no explanation to this problem anywhere online.

So there You Go!
