    Outbound Airdrop FROM my iPhone 11 TO several Macs works fine. But

    The phone shows on the Mac's Airdrop popup transfer window and blinks

    All devices near each other, fully updated, BT and WiFi turned on/off,
    hard reset/restarted, working fine in all other ways.

    How fix?


    In settings -> general -> airdrop, is “receiving off” checked?

    On a Mac, in Preferences/Extensions, Share Menu, AirDrop is checked?
