If you can’t see the other device in AirDrop

Step 1- Check Connectivity and Proximity

Place devices within 9 meters (30 ft). Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on both devices.

Step 2- Launch AirDrop

Run the “Mac Finder” program. Next, in the menu bar, choose “Go> Airdop” from the dropdown bar. You can easily customize your preferences from the AirDrop window.

Step 3- Settings for AirDrop

AirDrop has a feature named “Allow me to be discovered by.” Allow others to find your device by checking this box. An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch has a comparable setting in its settings.

Step 4- Visit iCloud Settings (if “Contacts Only”)

If AirDrop is set to “Contacts Only,” sign in both devices to iCloud. The receiving device’s Contacts app must also contain the sender’s Apple ID email or phone number. It is essential for smooth AirDrop transfers with “Contacts Only.”

Install the latest software updates for your Mac and other devices.

A point to keep in mind is:

• Ensure that all the incoming connections are unblocked in firewall settings.
• Turn off “Block all incoming connections” in MacOS Ventura or later. Select the Apple menu and then System Settings. Further, go to Network in the sidebar.
• Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then select Security & Privacy. Click the Firewall tab, click the lock, and enter your administrator password when prompted. Click Firewall Options, then uncheck “Block all incoming connections.”
