How to use Apple’s AirDrop (it’s really easy)
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere’s no need to text or email content.
Apple’s AirDrop functionality on its Mac and iOS devices can be used, for free, to share and receive photos, documents, and more with other Apple devices that are physically nearby. It’s a nifty, speedy option that saves you the need to message or email content, instead sending it wirelessly with a few taps of your mobile device or a few clicks on your Mac.
It’s fairly straightforward to utilize. Here’s a walkthrough if you’re struggling to get your head around how it all works. (But also remember: AirDrop has its own privacy flaws.)
Getting started with Apple’s AirDrop functionality
AirDrop uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to transmit the content you want to send (or receive), so you need to ensure that the person you’re sending to is nearby and within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.
If the person you’re sending to has their AirDrop settings set to receive from ‘Contacts Only,’ they need to have your Apple ID’s email address or mobile number in a contact card for AirDrop to work.
Check that both you and the person you’re sending to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If either of you have ‘Personal Hotspot’ turned on, you need to turn it off.
If you aren’t in the person’s Contacts, they need to set their AirDrop receiving setting to ‘Everyone’ in order to be able to receive the file from your device.

How to accept an AirDrop share
When someone shares something with you using the AirDrop function, you’ll get a notification on your phone with a preview of what they are sharing. You can tap ‘Accept’ or ‘Decline.’
If you AirDrop something to yourself, like a photo from your iPhone to your Mac, you won’t see an option to Accept or Decline. It’ll be automatically sent to your device as long as you’re signed in with your Apple ID on both devices.
How to adjust your device’s AirDrop settings
It’s simple to change who can ‘see’ your device and send you AirDrop content. Go to your iPhone’s Settings menu, then open the ‘General’ menu and tap on AirDrop.
From here you can change between ‘Receiving Off,’ ‘Contacts Only,’ and ‘Everyone.’ We’d recommend going for the ‘Contacts Only’ option to protect yourself from spam or harmful content when out and about.
