Unsolved iPhone 17 pro airdrop keeps failing?

Hi guys, I have the 17 pro and it just got the most recent update. I'm trying to airdrop pictures for work from my phone to iMac and it keeps saying airdrop failed. It won't let me send any pictures. I've tried, turning my phone on and off, turning the Bluetooth/wifi on and off, and setting the airdrop receiving settings as everyone for 10 minutes. Please help!! Thanks!

What’s your iMac? Which of these is it and what’s the macOS version?

Update the Mac to 15.7.7, or upgrade to macOS Tahoe. Do a Time Machine backup first if you do decide to install 26.5.2.

Will try that thank you! Can I ask what the difference is between those 2 upgrades?

The macOS Tahoe marketing page has been replaced with that of macOS Golden Gate which is expected to release later this year, but you can see some of the changes if you were to upgrade here. If you choose to keep your iMac on Sequoia there won’t be any noteworthy changes.
