Iphone 6 (IOS 9.0.1) Airdrop not working

Hello,

I have an Iphone6 with IOS 9.0.1 installed.

Recently, I bought an Ipad Air 2 Wifi and was trying to use Airdrop between the two devices but didn't work.

After trying airdrop many times with many other apple devices owned by other people, I found out that there is no problem with my Ipad Air 2.

If airdrop of my Iphone6 didn't work with everyone else's devices, I would think there must be a hardware problem in my Iphone6.

However, it worked with once with another Iphone6. However, it didn't work with all other Iphones including Iphone 5s, 6 and devices Ipad air, air2, Mac.

It is really frustrating.

I tried everything. Resetting to restoring my device and everything but it didn't work.

Please help me, I live in Jakarta and cannot get support since I bought my Iphone6 in Singapore.

Sincerely,

iPhone 6, iOS 9.0.1, Airdrop

Same issue here:

iPhone 6 (iOS 9.0.1) cannot see MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 10.11.1)

The MacBook Pro, however, can see the iPhone just fine and consistently. But I rarely am able to get it so the iPhone can see the MacBook Pro.

Looking forward to someone solving this... Apple perhaps? =)

Apple isn't here, just volunteer users like you. See this article for tips on using Airdrop: Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
