I'll often Airdrop a photo from my iPhone to my MacBook Air M2, then try to send a second photo right afterwards and the second send fails. It's just so flakey and randomly not working after iOS 26.x upgrades... frustrating.

Context Explanation

The update to iOS 17 stopped Airdrop working, the Share button worked but the Airdrop button did nothing, or the screen turned white. What I’ve come to understand, Airdrop between devices uses the Contacts entries of both devices.
