AirDrop not working On specific Account

Hi! So, Using 1 iPhone 12 and 1 MacBook Pro that has 2 users configured, on one user I can receive files (is the original user administrator, the one I used to setup the whole machine) but the other account (created later, but with All the administrators privileges) this one can’t receive files, it shows up in my iPhone’s airdrop sharing but stays on “waiting” and the Mac doesn’t react.

also, the Mac can see my phone in both accounts and is able to send airdrops from both as well. Is this a known issue?

my MacBook Pro is a retina early 2015 on Monterrey 12.6.6

thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

On your Mac is the AirDrop setting set to Everyone or Contacts only. If it is Contacts Only, it may not recognize the other User in your Contacts. Try setting it to Everyone to see if it makes a difference. Is there any other differences on the other User, such as Apple ID?
