Why Did AirDrop Decline or Fail?
An AirDrop transfer can be declined because the recipient chose not to accept it, or fail because the devices no longer meet AirDrop’s receiving, proximity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or authorization requirements.
Does AirDrop Need Wi-Fi or Internet to Work?
AirDrop requires Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to be turned on for nearby sharing, but it does not require the devices to be using the same Wi-Fi network or depend on a conventional internet connection for the initial nearby transfer.
Why Does AirDrop Say Waiting?
An AirDrop transfer can remain waiting when the recipient has not accepted or completed the receiving flow, the devices lose the required nearby connection, or receiving settings prevent the handoff from progressing.
Why Is AirDrop Not Finding Someone Nearby?
AirDrop may not show a nearby person when Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is off, the devices are too far apart, Personal Hotspot is active, or the recipient’s AirDrop receiving setting does not allow discovery.
