iPhone not connecting to MacBook for airdrop or handoff

"iPhone not connecting to MacBook for airdrop or handoff: My MacBook Pro M4 will not recognize my iPhone 17 for AirDrop. Also, the MacBook does not show the Safari icon on the bar as for opening the page on my phone to the MacBook screen. It’s like the MacBook does not recognize my phone. AirDrop settings are correct, sharing settings correct. Issue just started a few days ago. Handoff is not working. When selecting “share” for a file on the MacBook, then choosing AirDrop, it does not display my iPhone as an option."
