Hi there, cheyen98!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your AirDrop has been stuck downloading for a while. I suggest checking out this article to Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and see if the issue is resolved. Then, try and AirDrop again.


If you have an issue after you restart, try connecting to another Wi-Fi network to see if you still have an issue.


Let me know the results and take care!
