Hi Leroy,


BT and WIFI (same network) enabled.

Confirmed both devices up to date with aforementioned OS'.

I can Airdrop from iPhone 8 > iPhone 12

I can Airdrop from M1 Macbook > iPhone 8 (after re-launching Finder 1x)

I can Airdrop from M1 Macbook > iPhone 12 (after re-launching Finder earlier)


I cannot Airdrop from either iPhone > M1 Macbook
