In iOS 11 or later, Use and customize Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Go to section "Quickly control settings and use apps".... "Turn on network settings" and then read the first paragraph

carefully.

Hello Gabnum.

If I'm understanding correctly, you are having some trouble with AirDrop. I will be happy to hep.

Check out the steps below to see if it helps from our article: 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.

Cheers.
