Airdrop between my own devices not working without WiFi What could be the reason that I can't send pictures using Airdrop from my phone (13 pro) to my iPad (pro 3. gen) or vice versa, if the devices aren’t connected to WiFi? Both devices have OS 17.0.3. Bluetooth is on in both devices. When trying to send from the phone, the message "Rejected", when sending from the Pad, "Failed". (Sorry, my devices work in Finnish, so these English messages are my guessing and also, I don’t have any idea, what’s the difference between these two message’s meanings. Airdrop from my phone to a friend’s iPhone works perfectly without WiFi. I think this constant not working started after the iOS 17 updates, previously it has been sporadic. I have tried Airdrop settings "Contacts only" and "Everyone for 10 minutes" on both devices.

Hello,

Go to Setting > General > AirDrop and check the settings. See this for more detail:

Note: it can take awhile for other people to appear for AirDrop. Sometimes it is slow.

Good luck.
