So, for example, audios appear in the audio app, and photos open in the photo app.

If you accept, the AirDrop will come in through the same app from which it was sent. Then, you can either click on Accept or Decline. When a file is shared with you using Airdrop, you will receive a notification alongside a preview of what is shared. Note that if you have the receiver’s contact saved on your phone, an image with their name will suffice, but a name without an image would show if the contact is not saved. The received file should appear in your Photos app, allowing you to view it and open it whenever necessary. Once an image has been sent over, click ‘Save’ (or do nothing) depending on whether or not you want it saved onto your device’s Photos app. You can also use your iPhone or iPad camera as a visual aid by pointing it at the person trying to share something with you- this works great if both parties have their cameras on and ready. If you are using AirDrop for the first time, you will need to tap “Accept” to confirm. You will only see this menu if no nearby device is found that supports AirDrop yet or another reason why both parties cannot use the AirDrop. If not, select who you can share with from the list displayed under “Allow me to be discovered by:” and then tap ‘Next.’ Remember that the latter option only works if they are in your Contacts list, so be sure not to choose this until they have already accepted to be included on their end. Make yourself discoverable to others by selecting “Everyone” or contacts with whom you want to share files. You’ll find the feature in your settings (tap Settings > General > AirDrop) and should be turned “On” by default. This act also limits strangers from accessing sensitive files sent via Airdrop if someone else lurks nearby trying to grab them. In this case, they must both accept each other as friends first to send items back and forth wirelessly. For now, we are going to select “Contacts Only” as it’s generally safer when you only want to share between users who have shared their contact information before sending something through Airdrop.

Go into your settings and choose General, then tap on “AirDrop.” Here, you have two options: Off or Contacts Only/Everyone. Airdrop is helpful if you want to receive something from the nearby devices – learn how? Before You tart
