AirDrop MIA? Fixes When Your Files Won't Fly!

Frustrated because your AirDrop isn't working? You're not alone! This seamless file-sharing feature can sometimes be a real headache. But don't worry, we've got you covered with some quick troubleshooting steps.

First, ensure both devices have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled. Obvious, but often overlooked! Next, check your AirDrop visibility settings. Are you set to 'Contacts Only' but not signed in to iCloud or sharing with someone not in your contacts? Switch to 'Everyone' temporarily.

Also, proximity matters. Make sure the devices are close to each other – within about 30 feet. Firewalls and VPNs can also interfere, so try disabling them temporarily.

Still no luck? Restart both devices. It's the age-old tech remedy for a reason! Finally, ensure both devices are running the latest software updates. An outdated iOS or macOS version can cause compatibility issues. By trying these simple fixes, you should have your files flying smoothly in no time!
