How to transfer files between Apple devices using AirDrop if it is not working?

AirDrop technology is one of the most convenient tools for quickly transferring files between Mac, iPhone, and iPad computers. However, users sometimes encounter a situation where devices do not see each other in the list of available devices for sending.

First, make sure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules are enabled on both devices, as AirDrop uses them together for discovery and data transfer. Also, check if the Personal Hotspot or general internet connections are enabled on the devices, as they often block the operation of wireless protocols.

Next, open the Control Center or Finder settings and check your Mac's visibility to others. Set the visibility parameter to Contacts Only or Everyone, depending on which device you are trying to transfer files from. If the devices are far apart, move them closer together.

If standard methods do not help, restart the wireless modules on your Mac. To do this, you can turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off and back on via the status menu in the menu bar, or restart the computer itself, which often resets frozen network services.
