Airdrop not working

I cannot get Airdrop to work from my iphone SE 2020 to my Macbook Pro 2015. I have tried the usual stuff (firewall, handoff, airdrop settings) but nothing is working! Help!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

Make sure your iPhone SE is running the very latest version of iOS which currently 16.5.


Also make sure your laptop is running the very latest updates for macOS. What version of macOS are you running on the laptop? I've heard that AirDrop might not be compatible with really old versions of macOS any longer.


If both are running the latest versions of their respective operating systems, then make sure to reboot both the iPhone & the laptop since they can sometimes get into a weird state.


These things have always allowed AirDrop to start working again for me.
