Airdrop Not Working on MacBook Pro After Installing MacOS Monterey

After the latest update MacOS Monterey I noticed my airdrop stopped working.


I have tried restarting the MacBook Pro 2016 and switching on/off wifi and bluetooth but still no luck.


I was wondering if anyone had this issue and if they found a fix?


Thanks

After the update on my Macs, an iMac Retina 4k 21,5” 2017 and a MacBook Air M1 2020, from Mac OS Big Sur to Monterey, I had this problem with AirDrop, not working between the two Macs or my iPhone and my iPad, both with iOS 15.1.


I have installed AdGuard in both my Macs and I found that the ‘guilty’ is it.

Reading this post in Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/qqqvvp/macos_monterey_airdrop_not_working/, I could solve the problem and now all devices work well.


If you have installed AdGuard too, give a try :


open AdGuard settings -> Gear -> Advanced -> Advanced settings -> Change network.extension.monterey.force.split.tunnel to true value (it’s false as default).


I hope this is the solution for many of you.
