Whats wrong with Airdrop on my 2014 MacBook Pro?

Hey,

So I picked up a 2014 semi-new condition macbook pro with 2 battery cycles a bit ago.

One thing I use a lot is airdrop... however idk why but it seems like theres no "don't see who you're looking for" in the menu. This meaning, I cannot airdrop to my iphone back and forth.

Is something wrong or is this normal? Pretty annoying.

You didn't mention any of the details about your devices, i.e.: OS versions, models etc. …

Anyway, maybe start with this read here:

If you can’t see the other device in AirDrop

If you can't see the person or the device that you're trying to AirDrop to, check the following:

Check that both of you have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.
If either of you have Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby. You can't AirDrop to users who are out of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.

If the other person’s AirDrop receiving setting is set to Contacts Only, and you’re not in their Contacts, have them set their AirDrop receiving setting to Everyone.

I would like to airdrop from my iPhone 6s to my MacBook Pro Mid-2014 running the latest version of Sierra.

However, the menu normally shown on Macs is not present. The "Don't see who you're looking for?" or the selection to be discovered by everyone, contacts only, or no one. Check the photo above.

Maybe something changed…???

I only use Sierra occasionally, so maybe have a look at some of the appropriate hits here:
