AirDrop

My sister was trying to airdrop something from her MacBook to my iPad but it would only appear in my iPhone with the same name instead of being two options. For example, it should show Pratyush’s iPhone and Pratyush’s iPad. Can you help resolve this issue?

iPad Air 3, iPadOS 15

I havn’t used airdrop a lot but I do know that the receiving device must be on for it to work


perhaps these articles will have some help, maybe there’s a setting in your ipad you need to change (like receiving from known contacts, etc)
