Send a file via Bluetooth not available Macbook Air M1

On my 2013 Macbook Air I could go to the Bluetooth icon and send a file to my Samsung Galaxy A40 via "Send a file" menu.

I have the new M1 Macbook and this option is not showing up at all. When I go to Bluetooth File Exchange and try to browse, it says "Device doesn't have the necessary services".

My Galaxy and Macbook are paired and my sharing options set to:

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0
