Hi ventifact, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that you are experiencing issues using AirDrop between an iPhone 8 on iOS 15.6 and another iPhone 8 on iOS 15.5.

We’d like to gather additional details that may help us be in a better position to assist you. Does it help if you change the Airdrop settings for both devices to Everyone?

Have you had the chance to restart the devices?

Have you had the chance to check out the reminders under the "Before you begin" section in the article below?

In the meantime, we recommend that you update the iPhone that is still on iOS 15.5..

While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest software version for your device can help isolate potential software issues. 

Kindly secure a backup and update.
