I have a 2015 iMac running El Capitan and an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 9.2. I have some photos (JPG) on my Mac and I want to send them to my iPhone via Finder. Everything seemed to work fine: I selected the photos in Finder, clicked on the Share icon and selected Airdrop, and clicked on my iPhone icon. It showed a progress bar and said that it was complete. However, I open the Photos app on the iPhone and the photos are not there.

Am I doing something wrong? Are the photos on my phone but just not showing up in the Photos app? I tried the same thing with a family member's iPhone 6 Plus. The only difference was that it asked permission on her iPhone and she selected "Accept". Same thing happened though.. it shows a progress bar and says the transfer was completed, but the photos do not show up.
