Proximity sharing airdrop name drop doesn’t work iPhone 12 Pro max iOS 17.0.3. I did everything. Network Reset, Update, toggle settings. Nothing…. Tried with couple devices. Not the name drop not the airdrop. WiFi on Bluetooth on. Checked every related setting. And it doesn’t work on other people phones. May be this is some regional restriction?

iPhone 15 Pro connectivity issues: wifi and AirPlay I upgraded from iPhone 11 to iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 17. Since the change, my wifi cuts out constantly and AirPlay devices aren't showing up reliably (e.g., a HomePod mini when I'm standing next to it). No other devices on my network are experiencing wifi connectivity issues and they can all interact with each other via AirPlay, so the issue is clearly the phone, iOS 17, or both. I still reset the other devices, reset network settings on my phone, and reset the router for good measure. My phone never connects to my HomePod, even in Homekit. I suspect all three issues (wifi reliability, AirPlay, and Homekit) are all related, and the phone/iOS 17 is the common denominator.
