Guys - how do I put my Mac mini computer as a contact on my iPhone? Both have the same user ID's but I can only do Airdrop from phone to computer and not the other way around without going into phone settings and selecting 'Everyone for 10 minutes'. I would like to keep the default as Contacts only all the time and still do this transfer

thanks

I checked my contacts on my Mac and both phone number & email address of the phone are listed in a single contact. Also, both computer & phone use same log-in
