AirDrop issues can be caused by Bluetooth/Wi-Fi not being enabled, devices being out of range, or contacts-only sharing being restricted. Ensure both devices have AirDrop enabled, are visible to each other, and have Bluetooth/Wi-Fi turned on. Also, verify that AirDrop settings are set to 'Everyone' if sharing with non-contacts.
