Airdrop not working : Mac not showing on iPhone

I have an iPhone 12 iOS 14.6 with Wifi and Bluetooth enabled and "everyone" selected in AirDrop.


I have a Macbook pro M1 2020 iOS Monterey 12.5 on same wifi network, bluetooth enabled and "everyone" selected in AirDrop. Firewall is also turned off.


On the Mac I can see the iPhone in AirDrop, but I cannot see the Mac on the phone.


Why and how do I fix it ?!


I tried disabling and enabling everything possible, but to no avail - the Macbook simply does not want to show up on the iPhone...


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13
