AirDrop on iPad turns off The AirDrop feature on my iPad turns itself off (receiving off) after I turn it to receiving on.  I have restarted the iPad and then AirDrop works for a few minutes and then I have the same issue.  I have also reset the network settings.  Same issue.  Air drop is on, and then it goes off.  

Any suggestions?
Reset the iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Make sure WiFi and Bluetooth are turned on. Those are required to use AirDrop and won’t work without them. The try again to turn AirDrop on, if the issue persists you should contact Apppe Support.
