The best guide to using AirDrop on your iOS and macOS devices

What do you need to start using AirDrop?

  1. You need to be near the person you want to share the files or data with, over AirDrop.
  2. Both parties must have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled (but not on the same Wi-Fi network) and the Personal Hotspot function turned off.

How to use AirDrop?

Step 1. Tap the Share icon when you’re in any app that has a file you want to transmit via AirDrop.

Step 2. Select AirDrop. If both you and the recipient have an iPhone 11 or later, you can point your phone towards them to prioritise them in the list of nearby AirDrop users.
