AirDrop consistently fails when sending photos from my Mac to iPhone
Asked by

My iPhone 14 Pro Max and 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro cannot transfer images between each other using AirDrop. Both devices are fully updated. When I share an image from Safari on the Mac, the iPhone appears correctly and the transfer starts, but it always stops and shows a failure message. Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on both devices, and AirDrop is set to allow everyone. What else should I try to fix this?
Answers
Double-check that both devices are connected to the same Wi‑Fi network and that Bluetooth is enabled on each one. As a troubleshooting step, set AirDrop to allow everyone on both devices, then try the transfer again.

QuietMango47: Both devices are on the same Wi‑Fi network, Bluetooth is enabled, and I’ve already tested with AirDrop set to allow everyone. The transfer still fails every time.
