Mac won't accept AirDrop from iPhone

Since updating my iPhone to iOS 15, I have been unable to AirDrop photos from my phone to my iMac. On the phone, the iMac is visible as a device, but after selecting it, the progress circle just keeps saying Waiting. I have AirDrop on the Mac set to Everyone.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

AirDrop from iPhone 13 to macbook pro not working Hello, I can airdrop a photo from my macbook pro to my iphone 13, but I can't airdrop a photo from iphone 13 to macbook pro. Wifi and bluetooth are turned on at both devices. The iPhone 13 only shows one contact when I select AirDrop. Restarting both devices did not help. iOS 16.5, macOS Monterey 12.6.6. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time, Fredymac
