Airdrop sends to wrong person (iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max)

Whenever I send something from my iPhone to my tablet, the Airdrop option appears on other people’s devices and they are able to keep my files. We’ve tried resetting devices and turning Airdrop on/off, all to no avail.

iPhone 13 Pro Max

Hello Sahra_3younik,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with AirDrop from your iPhone becoming available to everyone. To start, check your AirDrop settings as outlined here: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


"You can put your AirDrop receiving setting to Contacts Only or Receiving Off at any time to control who can see your device and send you content in AirDrop."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
