I haven’t experienced any issues with airdrop via iOS 17 on any of my devices.


  1. Confirm you have the latest update
  2. Reset Network Settings
  3. Restart Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
  4. Turn off Wi-Fi Hotspot
  5. Check AirDrop Settings
  6. Enable Airdrop ‘Contacts Only’ or ‘Everyone for 10 Minutes’
  7. Keep iPhone Unlocked while using AirDrop


If you tried all of that and it still doesn’t work contact Apple Support for further assistance to try and pinpoint the issue.
