Regarding AirDrop, how do I get the person's name on the list?

iMore Question

I want to share a document by using air drop, but when I click on sharing, the only person on the list is not the one I want to share the info with. How do I get the person's name on the list?

Re: air drop to iphone

Sometimes it takes a few minutes for the recipient's device to show up. Are you certain the other person has Bluetooth and AirDrop enabled?

Re: air drop to iphone

What device and what iOS does the recipient have?
Do they have AirDrop enabled for you?
Do they have WiFi and Bluetooth enabled?

The below was taken from a duplicate post that I've since removed from view less than a minute ago.:

"I want to share a document from my mac to my iPhone using air drop. When i go to the document, and i try to share, the contact is not the one i need. I do I put my contact in there?"
