    Here’s How to Fix AirDrop Not Working Issue on iPhone 13 after iOS 15 update

    As you have checked above, we have started with some basic tips given above and then a practical solution given below that has worked for many. In most cases, you can get rid of the problem by trying the tricks given below.

    Fix 1: Check that Do Not Disturb is disabled

    Make sure Do Not Disturb mode is disabled on your iOS and macOS devices. When DND is enabled, notifications are silenced. Knowing that when a file is sent via AirDrop, you will receive an alert. That’s why it’s best to turn off DND.

    • On the iOS device, open Settings → Do Not Disturb and turn off the switch.
    • On your Mac, click the menu icon in the top right corner, then turn off the switch next to Do Not Disturb.

    Fix 2: Check if your device is in airplane mode

    Make sure Airplane Mode is turned off on your iOS devices. It’s because when it’s enabled, it turns off the radios. If you notice an airplane icon at the top of your iPhone or iPad screen, open the control center and hit the airplane icon to disable it and try to use AirDrop, if it doesn’t fix the problem, keep trying other tips provided below.

    Fix 3: Check the Bluetooth settings

    AirDrop uses Bluetooth detection, so make sure you keep your devices within 30 feet. Sometimes they seem to obstruct physical obstacles such as concrete walls. Therefore, it would be better (if necessary) to bring the devices closer to increase the Bluetooth reception.

    Other than that, make sure Bluetooth is “turned on” on your Mac. If not, click the Bluetooth icon on the top right side and then click Turn Bluetooth On.

    Fix 4: Reset network settings

    Another trick I would suggest you try is to update your network settings. But if you find this solution a bit radical, there is another option, which is to disconnect the device from the Wifi network and reconnect.

    To do this, open Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the “i” button next to the Wifi network > Forget this network and confirm. If the problem persists, reset the network by following the method below.

    1. Launch the Settings app on your iOS device > General.
    2. Now tap Reset > Reset Network Settings and confirm.

    That is all you need to know to solve AirDrop Not Working Bug on iPhone 13 with iOS 15. Also, check out our other iPhone 13 Guides, only on TechNClub.com.
