AirDrop not working between two specific phones

Same Apple Account, or different accounts?

Any add-on VPN apps? If so, remove all, restart, and try again without the VPN app(s) installed.

Yes. Just these 2 phones. I seem to have Apple confused as well

You definitely uninstalled the VPN? Not just turned off?

Both phones are in each other's contacts?

Bluetooth and wifi both on and wifi connected?

Tried all that, so far been on phones or in person with Apple for over3 hours. Tried everything we can think of. Only happened since big update.

Do you have any additional hardware installed on your network, such as range extender, firewall, switchers?

Then the issue lies with the 2 specific phones only.
