Airdrop fails randomly at least 50% of the time I use it. And this experience is pretty consistent across over a decade of use with macbooks, mac minis, iphones (right up to the current 14) and tablets for an entire family. It's just garbage 50% of the time, and you end up trying random things... "restart your bluetooth" "ok that didn't work, now I'll restart mine." "ok still not working, lets both restart our bluetooth at the same time while chanting Jobs Jobs Jobs" "ok now let's try a restart of both devices." "fuck it, just use viber or email."
