A large number of complaints posted by netizens on MacRumors forum show that many iPhone 14 users have encountered problems that cannot use the AirDrop function normally. Specifically, when trying to send a file to a known contact, the affected iPhone 14 (iOS 16) device cannot complete the process.

On the one hand, the files that are ready to be sent always show the status of "waiting...). At the same time, the receiver has not received a prompt message "Whether to accept AirDrop airdrops".
MacRumors Forum netizen Bexx said:
I also encountered the same problem. Earlier, I tried to send a photo to my husband, but my phone kept showing that it was connecting, but his iPhoneX was not displayed on the other side.
But if I set AirDrop to enable it to everyone (rather than known contacts only), and then enable the airdrop function to other devices, there will be no problem.
Strangely, whether or not the AirDrop airdrop range is defined, it is normal to pass files to your own device (the same Apple ID).
By simply summarizing netizens’ revelations, the problem seems to be with the iPhone 14, not the iOS 16 system. However, some users running iOS 16 are not ruled out to be affected by the same problem.
embarrassingly, although the AirDrop setting can be temporarily changed to "Open to everyone". However, when password sharing is needed, both parties must save each other's contact information in advance.
MacRumors Netizen Patrick added:
Since AirDrop cannot be used normally on two new iPhone 14 Pro Max machines, I contacted the official support staff of Apple on the same day.
The other party suggested that I change the setting to enable airdrop for everyone instead of only known contacts, and in the end I did take advantage of AirDrop.
What's weird is that my regular AirDrop emoji does not work and must be set to enable airdrop to everyone to see the partner's device under other items.
I tried to share the password through Apple, but I received a message that 'the other party is not in the list of known contacts' - Could this be caused by the mismatch of iCloud contacts?
Finally, according to several netizens who contacted Apple support staff, Apple officials have realized this bug and are expected to fix it in the near future.
