I can’t airdrop anything to my wifes phone even though she appears as available. When she tries to airdrop something to me, I don’t come up on her phone as available. I have tried restarting the phone, turning Bluetooth/Wifi on and off and several other methods but still not working. My phone is updated to the newest software and still not able to get it to work. Anyone else having these issues?

I'm having this problem too. It was working fine until recently. Now, my macbook can "see" my iphone in Airplay but my phone can't find my Macbook. I've tried all of the recommended solutions listed here with no progress.
Forget the AirDrop or iCloud. The best solution I've found, after much testing, is use the Apple Lightning to SD Card reader adapter. I put in a 1TB SD card and was able to download all my iPhone 13 Pro Max ProRes video files. It's slow - it took under 2 hours to download 280GB worth of video - but have patience and it works great. Make sure you use reliable SD brands - Sandisks - and sometimes the microSD cards can be a problem, esp with the cheap SD adapters. Use a full SD card.
Just waiting for the next gen Iphones to use a USB-C connection to charge (like their iPad Pros) but until then patience is the key w/ the lightning (an oxymoron since it's NOT that fast) connection.
Apple is really bad with this feature, this error has been for a long long time ago maybe 5 or 6 years. The only solution that I found it was sing out from your Apple ID session then you can see other devices to transfer data. It is really annoy this error and I already talked with tech support many times and they couldn’t fixed.
I’ve tried all that and still not working.
Hey,
did you find a solution for this specific problem/behavior?
I experience exactly the same with my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Thx :)
This solution worked for me perfectly no need to reset anything. Thank you
This was the best solution for us. Working well now.
Nothing works for me, and this is something I tend to use a lot. Any new ideas? Is Apple going to sort it out?
Unfortunately, nothing from my end. Issue is still persistent and annoying as ****. You'd expect this would have been solved from last year.. embarrassing.
This may not apply to everyone, but I found that using a VPN can interfere with AirDrop, at least with Monterey.
Thank you, this worked.
