AirDrop problem

Dear Apple Communities and Support,


I use the AirDrop feature almost daily, but since I updated my devices to the newest versions, my iPhone doesn't see my Mac when I want to transfer files.

It works between iPad and Mac. The iPad also updated to iOS 12.3.


I have read the guides on Apple Support pages and I checked everything on my devices. Is this a known problem or just an individual case?


MacBook Air 13" (2017) with macOS 10.14.5

iPhone XS with iOS 12.3

iPad Air 2 with iOS 12.3


Thank you in advance for your reply.
