AirDrop is not working Hi I'm trying to AirDrop some of my photos from my iPhone to my iPad. I want my iPad save all of the photos to the Camera Roll. But when AirDrop completed there is no photos appear on my Camera Roll instead they we're saved to the Files (Downloads Folder on my iPad). Is there any solution for that absurd problem? I can't solve and trying to AirDrop again, again, again and delete all photos from downloads folder for days...

Airdrop does not transfer more than 50 or 60 photos in new iOS Hi here. I have updated both my phone and Mac to new iOs. Everything was just fine before however after this update, Airdrop does not allow transferring more than 50 to 70 photos and videos and I have to select in groups of 30 to 40 to transfer photos. As a property surveyor I take 2000 photos and 70 short videos of 1 to 3 minutes a day which I have to transfer at the end of working day. However this is now a nightmare and not possible. Please would you report this to Apple or provide a professional reasonable advice.

Yes. It will download the original resolution and then send it and the same is true if you try to open the Photos to view.
