iPhone 5s Airdrop not working

iPhone 5s Airdrop not working

Is anyone still alive who can help me with an iPhone 5s question?

I've used Airdrop a lot in the past to send photos from my phone to my computer.

As of yesterday, Airdrop is not responding. Nothing happens when I tap the Airdrop logo.

Please advise!

Thankls

Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby and within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.
Check that you and the person you're sending to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If either of you have Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
Check if the person you're sending to has their AirDrop set to receive from Contacts Only. If they do, and you’re in their Contacts, they need to have your email address or mobile number in your contact card for AirDrop to work.
If you're not in their Contacts, have them set their AirDrop receiving setting to Everyone in order to receive the file.

You can put your AirDrop receiving setting to Contacts Only or Receiving Off at any time to control who can see your device and send you content in AirDrop.
