iPhone 15 AirDrop to Mac fails after update AirDrop not working from iPhone 15 to Mac (one-way issue after latest update) Hello everyone, I’m using an iPhone 15 and a Mac with M4 chip. Both devices are updated to the latest available iOS and macOS versions. I’m facing an AirDrop issue where: I can send files from my Mac to my iPhone without any problem But when I try to send files from my iPhone to my Mac, my Mac does not appear / is not recognised in AirDrop Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on on both devices, AirDrop visibility is set correctly, and both devices are unlocked and nearby. I started noticing this issue only after the latest iPhone 15 update. Before this update, AirDrop was working normally in both directions. I wanted to check: Is anyone else facing this one-way AirDrop issue after the recent update? Is this a known bug, or is there any confirmed fix? Any help or shared experiences would be appreciated. Thank you.

Airdrop stuck on "waiting" iPhone 14 to MacBook Air Iphone 14 (iOS 16.4.1) to MacBook Air (Monterey 12.5) I have never had a problem with airdrop until today. Now it just gets stuck on waiting and eventually gives up. I have checked the following: Bluetooth enabled on both devices Both devices connected to Wifi Personal Hotspot turned off Firewall turned off I have tried sending only one small (size reduced) photograph and it still gets stuck so it's not a size issue. iphone sitting right next to MacBook :) Any other ideas - sending photographs by email is taking forever! Thanks Gillie

Try and wait a while

If the issue persists see if the video is in your photo roll on your iPhone. Sometimes it is airdropped but the circle won't fill

Waited a long time but didn't work. Can't see any files in my gallery or files folder.
