I can't get AirDrop to work

Before the latest update, I used Airdrop all the time to move pics from my phone to my laptop. Now I can't. I'm getting weird messages and don't know what to do. Thanks for any ideas.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

Airdrop failed sending from iPhone to MacBook Pro Hello everyone, I'm trying to airdrop some pictures from my iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 17) to my MacBook Pro 2021 16-inch (Ventura 13.5.2) but it keeps failing. I can airdrop from my MacBook to my iPhone but not vice versa. I tried restarting, shooting down, turning on and off airdrop in both devices but it keeps failing. I'm updating my iOS to 17.0.2 and my macOS to 13.6. Let's see if it helps. Anyone with this problem? Thank you in advance :)
