Say what AirDrop is
Hand a photo to the person beside you without an address or a signal.
AirDrop sends a photo or a file straight from your iPhone to another Apple device a few feet away.
It hops between the two devices themselves, so it needs no email address, no phone number and no signal.
Key points
- AirDrop sends a file straight to an Apple device beside you
- It needs no address and no signal, and the other person accepts first
What to remember
- Both phones near each other, and both awake.
- AirDrop is for the person in the room with you.
Try this
On your own iPhone open Settings, then General, then AirDrop, and set it to Contacts Only.
