Airdrop seeing everyone except the person next to me ?

[Fred Zed]

Not sure what the issue is. When I attempt to Airdrop to the person on my contact list next to me it doesn’t find them. Yet the device sees everyone else around me that isn’t on my contact list.

Check over this article and be sure their iPhone is set up correctly (see the "Before you begin" section):

Use AirDrop to share and receive photos, documents, and more with other Apple devices that are nearby.

If it is, then I'd suggest both of you restart your iPhones and try again.

Thanks. It worked after I updated my contact on their iPhone with my iCloud email address.
