My friend sent me a screenshot of my contact in the airdrop screen on their phone, suggesting that I was a person that could receive their airdrop. Upon pressing my contact, it said that the airdrop was "declined". I am so far away- should I be concerned? Is it possible that this is a glitch?
Any insight is appreciated!

Hi anonymous2389,
Since being in Bluetooth range is necessary for using AirDrop, and since you mentioned you were very far away, it sounds like it was a different person with the same name who was within AirDrop range who declined the AirDrop.
Here's the requirements for using AirDrop: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Before you begin
* Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby and within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.
* Check that you and the person you're sending to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If either of you have Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
Kind regards.

I am having the same issue, I can see in my drop a friend who travelled very far away, the name for that friend is unique and made up, it is almost impossible for someone else to have it, even the contact image for that friend is the same. When I try to send I also get the message “declined”
My friend who is very far away can see my name in airdrop.
