airdrop is missing from my general settings in ios 17.1

First, go to settings then screen time. Secondly, tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. Lastly, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that AirDrop is turned on.

Still not working. The icon is there in the control Centre but nothing happens when I press it.

Also under General it doe not even show up as an option. All it has is

AirPlay & Handoff

Picture in Picture

CarPlay

"airdrop is missing from my general settings in iOS 17.1: Airdrop is no longer coming up when I try to share a photo. I tried going to settings > general > airdrop but that is missing as well. I tried searching airdrop under settings and nothing comes up. When I pull down from the top right corner and hold the network icon the Airdrop receiving button is off. Even if I click on it nothing happens. Any suggestions?"
