I am trying to airdrop from my phone to my iPad and it keeps showing waiting then it stops and nothing happens. The both show wi-fi is connected, Bluetooth is on, and airdrop is on contacts only is checked on both, location services is on. So what is going on? Why will in not work? I have iPhone 14 pro max and iPad Pro

Restart both devices. This does solve a lot of Airdrop problems.
Are you able to go from the iPad to the iPhone?
Try changing the Airdrop setting to allow receiving from Everyone to see if that works for the receiving device.

Hello!
Try to go in "Settings" then toggle the green switch off for "WiFi" and also for "Bluetooth". Do this for both devices.
Then go in Control Centre (swipe down from the upper right corner of the screen) and see if the two options are crossed over with a line. Then turn them back on by tapping on each (Bluetooth and WiFi). After that AirDrop should turn on automatically.
Try to send the files now.
Let us know if it worked!
This sounds weird, but it worked.
My wife's iPhone7 suddenly stopped being able to send via Airdrop to either my MacBook or hers. I went through all of the steps in various forums without success. Then I tried Airdropping *to* her iPhone, and that worked. And then Airdropping *from* her iPhone started working. Go figure...
