iPhone 14 Pro not connecting with MacBook Air M3 through Airdrop

When I am trying to send documents/photos from my iPhone 14 Pro to my MacBook Air, it doesn't work. The MacBook does not appear in the option list. If I try to send something from another iPhone, it works both ways.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.5

Airdrop failed sending from iPhone to MacBook Pro Hello everyone, I'm trying to airdrop some pictures from my iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 17) to my MacBook Pro 2021 16-inch (Ventura 13.5.2) but it keeps failing. I can airdrop from my MacBook to my iPhone but not vice versa. I tried restarting, shooting down, turning on and off airdrop in both devices but it keeps failing. I'm updating my iOS to 17.0.2 and my macOS to 13.6. Let's see if it helps. Anyone with this problem? Thank you in advance :)

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 has always been a bit finicky...

have you shut down and restarted both devices(?)
