why my iphone 13pro airdrop always off

I bought iPhone 13 Pro 256G in November. When my friend told me to use AirDrop to transfer photos, I found I couldn't open it. My AirDrop has been auto-shutdown, and I've tried everything but turned it on.

I was disappointed because I hadn't had that with my iPhone X.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
