Airdropped photos are not showing on Photo Library

Hi there Agungtryw,

If you are having issues viewing photos sent via AirDrop, first ensure you are following these steps from How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad to send these photos between your devices:

How to use AirDrop

1. Open an app, then tap Share or the Share button . If you share a photo from the Photos app, you can swipe left or right and select multiple photos.

2. Tap the AirDrop button.

3. Tap the AirDrop user that you want to share with. Or you can use AirDrop between your own Apple devices. If you see a red numbered badge on the AirDrop button, there are multiple devices nearby that you can share with. Tap the AirDrop button, then tap the user that you want to share with. Learn what to do if you don't see the AirDrop user or your other device.

If the person you're sharing content with is in your Contacts, you'll see an image with their name. If they're not in your Contacts, you'll see just their name without an image.

How to accept AirDrop

When someone shares something with you using AirDrop, you see an alert with a preview. You can tap Accept or Decline.

If you tap Accept, the AirDrop will come through within the same app it was sent from. For example, photos appear in the Photos app and websites open in Safari. App links open in the App Store so you can download or purchase the app.

If you AirDrop something to yourself, like a photo from your iPhone to your Mac, you won't see an option to Accept or Decline—it'll automatically get sent to your device. Just make sure that both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID.

If this is how you are using AirDrop and this continues to occur, make sure that each device is fully updated next. This installs feature improvements and fixes that can resolve unexpected behavior like this. This article shows how to back up and update: Update your iPhone or iPad

Cheers!
