Two air drops.

My wife’s iPhone XR has an air drop request pending on the phone.


Every time she sends something new, the other one is always there. When I click on the most recent one, it says “waiting” and it does send eventually.


When I click on the older one, it says “waiting”, but never sends.


Both remain on the phone.


How do I clear the older air drop??

The phone sends one AirDrop, but NOT the older one. The newer one sends, but when I go back to the AirDrop app, both are there.

  • I've restarted both iPhones several times.
  • I've accepted/rejected the new one several times. The older one won't send.
  • I've adjusted the settings to Receiving Off, Contacts Only, and Everyone
  • Both iPhones are running iOS 14.2


I can't get the old Air Drop to send or delete.
