AirDrop works but says it didn't

Since updating my iPhone, anytime I AirDrop to my MacBook Pro I get the message "AirDrop from <phone name> failed" but the AirDrops ARE successful. I can live with this message, but it's inaccurate and kind of annoying. Any ideas how to fix it?

iPad not Sending AirDrop After Update to iPadOS 26.2 My iPad Pro (3rd Generation) has not been able to send AirDrop to my Mac Studio or iPhone since I updated it to iPadOS 26.2. My Mac Studio and iPhone are also updated to their respective OS 26.2's, and they are both able to send and receive AirDrops between each other and SEND AirDrops to my iPad. My iPad is also able to successfully send to an old Mac Mini that is running MacOS 15.7.3. So far, I have tried: Turning my iPad completely off and back on. Turning WiFi and Bluetooth off, waiting 5-ish seconds, and turning them back on. Resetting network settings on my iPad. Letting everything sit for about a day and trying all of this again. Nothing has worked as yet. Is this just a glitch that Apple will fix in a future update, or is there some other secret process I can try to fix it? Thank you in advance for your help!
