Airdrop not working, or potentially disabled?

Hi - I'm using a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) M1, on Montery 12.2.1


I've tried using Airdrop but it seems to not be installed, or perhaps disabled?


It appears in the command centre, but is off and it's not possible to toggle it on (screenshot 1).



I've also done some troubleshooting online, and when I try to open Airdrop manually from Applications, it simply says application not found. (screenshot 2)


How can I reinstall Airdrop?
