AirDrop not working

AirDrop doesn't seem to work between my MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Late 2014) and my iPhone 6s. I wanted to transfer some photos that I edited on my Mac to my iPhone and I made sure that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi were turned on, it also says Discovered by: Everyone on both sides but nothing seems to work.

I'm assuming there's something wrong with my Mac because my iPhone is able to AirDrop between other iPhones.

I don't wish to use iTunes to transfer the photos because then I'm not able to tweak or delete them from my iPhone.

Any suggestions?

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2.1

I don't think you understand, I'm an avid AirDrop user but ever since I've upgraded to my iPhone 6s, I haven't been able to transfer photos to my Mac and vice versa. Nothing shows up. A suggestion to fix this is what I'm looking for.

Thanks

I've looked at all of Apples guides and it doesn't seem to address my problem. I've previously used AirDrop between my iPhone 5s and Mac but my iPhone 6s fails to communicate

No I understand the English language pretty well.

I just provided you with Apple support article for airdrop.

A suggestion, take your phone and mac to the Apple store and have the people at the genius bar take a look at it.

I don't have an Apple Store where I live and I wasn't trying to be rude, I just thought a link to the support article was insufficient since I've already done all the necessary steps needed to AirDrop and anyone can just look those up.

Thanks anyways
