Airdrop from iOS 14.5 to older devices

Hello. Has anyone else had any issues with airdrop after the 14.5 update? I have noticed that after the update, I am only able to airdrop to other devices on 14.5 or Big Sur 11.3. Everything was working fine until we updated some devices. I can't seem to figure out what to do to get it to work again.

iPhone 12 Pro Max

Trying to go from either Big Sur 11.3 or iPhone 12 Pro Max or iPhone 11 Pro with 14.5 on them to an older iPad Air running iOS 12. I can see all of the other devices just fine. Just not the iPad. Unfortunately it cannot be upgraded past iOS 12. So that could be the issue now but it has worked until the updates.
