AirDrop Devices and Other People

Hi, Recently my AirDrop stopped working. All my devices (MacBook, iPad and iPhone) are not only showing in the Devices section in AirDrop, but also in Other people. And when I am trying to airdrop something and click on the icon in the devices section, nothing is happening, only if I click on the icon in Other people. That's very annoying and never used to happen with me. Please see the attached image showing the situation. Please help me to fix it, as I already tried everything. I logged out from iCloud and logged in again, I cleared network data, I restarted my devices and the problem is still not fixed. Thanks.

Did you try a hard reset, also known as force restart on all of your devices:

Ipad:

Force Restart Your Mac. Press and hold down the Command (⌘) and Control (Ctrl) keys along with the power button (or the ‌Touch ID‌ / Eject button, depending on the Mac model) until the screen goes blank and the machine restarts.



Hopefully this should fix it.
