There is no one nearby to share with.&#8221; You may be surprised to get this message even when the person you are sending to may be very close to you. Apparently, AirDrop is not working properly because it fails to see the other Apple devices that are nearby. There may be several causes for this problem. For example, it is possible that the other Apple device is set to not receive AirDrop requests. Until you fix this problem, you won&#8217;t be able to use AirDrop. You can use AirDrop to share items like photos, documents, etc., between Apple devices, such as iPhone, iPad or Mac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/airdrop-no-people-576x1024.png\" alt=\"AirDrop Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-24608\" width=\"432\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/airdrop-no-people-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/airdrop-no-people-225x400.png 225w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/airdrop-no-people.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fixes for the AirDrop &#8216;No People Found&#8217; error <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Ensure that you and the other person you are sending to are<strong> close to each other<\/strong>; ideally, you and the other person should be within about <strong>33 feet (10 meters)<\/strong>.
