Why can't my MacBook Air (2019) see my Apple iPhone 11 on airdrop

Hi I am trying to send some photos to my MacBook from my iPhone 11 via airdrop but neither seems to be able to see the other. What can I do?

AirDrop issues with iPhone 7 to iMac I'm having issues sending photos from my iPhone 7 to my iMac, I can see my iMac in the AirDrop to send the photo and when I click on it it just keeps saying it's waiting and nothing happens on my iMac to accept it. I can send photos and files from my iMac to my iPhone but I can't seem to get it to go the other way, any help?

AirDrop from iPhone to/from Mac Not Working Hi everyone. I have used AirDrop in the past to transfer pictures from iPhone to Mac and vice versa. It worked flawlessly. Now that I am trying to send a photo from my iPhone to my Mac or Mac to my iPhone, it would not work. My iPhone detects the Mac and my iPhone is showing on the AirDrop/Finder window on my Mac. Both devices (Mac and iPhone) are communicating with each other. I am unsure why all of a sudden AirDrop stopped working. I have restarted both devices, reset my iPhone network settings, and double checked that both AirDrop settings are switched on. Nothing fixed the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
