Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Every time I want to send something from my MacBook to my iPad or iPhone Airdrop can't find them and the other way round my iPad and iPhone can't find my MacBook. I already looked at the firewall settings and "block all incoming connections" is deselected. Before the update there was a direct connection between my devices. Thanks in advance!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Hi, thanks for your reply but the link just shows how to use Airdrop and I know how to use airdrop and also my devices are all less than 2 years old. Airdrop used to work perfectly before the update therefore I don't need to know HOW to use Airdrop. There is a problem with the Big Sur update you should be informed about or at least try to solve it because not only is airdrop not working I suddenly noticed that there are also files missing on my MacBook.
Big Sur latest update 11.1 (20C69) installed and now Air drop wont work.
Noticed in "Finder" AirDrop receiving setting (Allow me to be discovered by) to "Everyone"or "Contacts only" keep on reversing back to "No one".
Please fix this bug.
You going through the router using Airdrop and the router may to be getting your WiFi signal from your device. That has happened to me several times.
Try rebooting your router
What does it have to do with my router?
Air Drop does not work since Big Sur
