AirDrop not working on iOS 16

Updated my iPhone to iOS 16 and ran the latest update on my MacAir. Airdrop no longer works in either direction between the two. Bluetooth is on and "everyone" selected for both. From phone to computer when I select my computer as the destination it flashes "waiting" and nothing happens. From computer to phone my phone shows up but absolutely nothing happens when I attempt to select it. Need some help as I share photos back and forth for work. Thanks.
