After testing this with a photo from my Mac to my iPhone successfully, I know it's not a software issue.


Check for software updates on both your Mac and iPhone.


If not, then try the following:

  1. Try plugging your iPhone into your Mac with a Lightning to USB cable before AirDropping
  2. Try turning Bluetooth off on your Mac (don't worry about your keyboard and mouse/trackpad because it should auto-on immediately, then try again
