Hello WhySoSerious204,


If a device is not receiving an AirDrop request, make sure it is not restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time and see if the Content & Privacy Restrictions option is turned on. If it is, continue on to Content Restrictions > Allowed Apps and make sure the AirDrop option is enabled.


Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Make sure the receiving option is set properly. go to Settings > General > AirDrop and choose the correct option. You can select "Contacts Only" if the device you're trying to receive from is saved as a contact. If it's not saved as a contact, then set it to "Everyone".

You'll also want to make sure you've covered the basics like restarting the devices and making sure they're up to date.


Restart your iPhone

Update your iPhone


Cheers!
