iPhone 12 Pro max iOS 17.0.3. I did everything. Network Reset, Update, toggle settings. Nothing…. Tried with couple devices. Not the name drop not the airdrop. WiFi on Bluetooth on. Checked every related setting. And it doesn’t work on other people phones. May be this is some regional restriction?

To clarify delta90h,
Are you saying AirDrop in any capacity isn't working? If so, then we'd recommend confirming the requirements listed at How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
* 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.
* Check if the person you're sending to has their AirDrop set to receive from Contacts Only. If they do, and you're in their Contacts, they need to have your Apple ID's email address or mobile number in your contact card for AirDrop to work.
* If you're not in their Contacts, have them set their AirDrop receiving setting to Everyone in order to receive the file.
You can also set your AirDrop options in Control Center:
1. On iPhone X or later, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen to open Control Center. Or follow the same motion to open Control Center on your iPad with iOS 12 or later or iPadOS. On your iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
2. Press firmly or touch and hold the network settings card in the upper-left corner.
3. Touch and hold the AirDrop button , then choose one of these options:
* Receiving Off: You won't receive AirDrop requests.
* Contacts Only: Only your contacts can see your device.
* Everyone: All nearby Apple devices using AirDrop can see your device. When you set your AirDrop option to Everyone for 10 Minutes in iOS 16.2 or later, your option reverts to Contacts Only3 after 10 minutes.
If you see Receiving Off and can't tap to change it:
1. Go to Settings > Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions.
3. Tap Allowed Apps and make sure that AirDrop is turned on.
Cheers!
Hi there delta90h,
Do you already have the other person's contact information on your iPhone? if so, then this is expected not to work:
Note: NameDrop only works for sending new contact information, not updating an existing contact.

Take care.
