I can't see any other devices in Airdrop. I have the iPhone 7 plus and updated to 11.0.2. This didn't work prior to the recent update as well. I've tried turning the WiFi and Bluetooth off then on again, Set to "Everyone", turned Airdrop off then on again, rebooted, reset network settings, restored from a back up. My phone shows up with other and they can Airdrop to me. Any ideas?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.0.2
Use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you can’t see the other device in AirDrop
If you can't see the person or the device that you're trying to AirDrop to, check the following:
- Check that both of you have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If either of you have Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
- Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby. You can't AirDrop to users who are out of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.
- If the other person’s AirDrop receiving setting is set to Contacts Only, and you’re not in their Contacts, have them set their AirDrop receiving setting to Everyone.
Let us know the results.
Have a great day!Use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Have a great day!I had already tried those steps. It did not work.
I did find the solution. I discovered that I need to have the individuals iCloud email address in their contact information. Once I had that in contacts the other devices show up.
No devices show up in Airdrop
