Why does airdrop on my iPhone not detect my Mac, even though my Mac detects my iPhone?
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14
Give the following a try:
I have followed the recommendations and still cannot airdrop from phone to computer. This started after I updated two updates ago--the update is current as of today (14.5.1), I have disabled and enabled the bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and done the "force restart" on my phone (iPhone 11). In the "bluetooth" menu on my Mac, it does not pick up my phone--but my phone picks up my Mac and I can airdrop from the phone to Mac. I have also disabled and re-enabled the Wi-Fi and bluetooth on the Mac. Help : (
Airdrop not working
