Airdrop Favorite contacts or Approved devices

I would like to have the option of a favorite Airdrop contact. It should work the same as “same Apple ID”; Meaning that if it’s my favorite

/approved contact/device, I don’t have to press accept all the time to receive pictures. It’s really annoying to press accept to receive from same friend device for example.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

How do I make myself (my Mac) show up as a "suggested" contact when using Airplay from iPhone? Was there now gone. I have an iPhone and a Mac. I like to often move photos and videos from the phone to the Mac using airplay. It seems for the longest time then when I clicked share that my own airdrop to my Mac would show up automatically. Now for some reason I have to click "airdrop" and then select myself. Oddly, my wife and child DO show up as a suggested Airdrop contact although I've never airdropped anything to them. Is there a way to make sure I always show up as a suggested contact to shorten this process? Thank you.

AirDrop (Contacts Only) - my own Mac and my own iPhone Concerning AirDrop I am running iOS 16.2 and Ventura 13.1 (both are reported by their respective devices as having the latest available versions). Of course, the iPhone defaults to Contacts Only (because Apple nanny'd the setting so that I can't permanently enable Everyone). I'm logged in to my own Apple account on both devices. But they won't find each other on Contacts Only. I have to switch them to Everyone in order for them to find each other. What do I need to do in order to get AirDrop to work on Contacts Only between two of my own devices that are each logged in to the same account?

The people that work for Apple may or may not see suggestions posted here.

Best to send those directly.
