Airdrop activation iPhone: What you need to do
To activate Airdrop on your iPhone, you only need to take a few steps. This option allows you to connect it to another iPhone, iPad or MacBook, for example.
- Open Control Center: First open the Control Center on your iPhone. If your iPhone has Face ID, swipe your finger down from the top right corner of the screen. If your iPhone has a Home button, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.
- Expand the field with network options: Press and hold the field with the network options for flight mode, WLAN and Bluetooth to expand it.
- Activate AirDrop: Now tap on the AirDrop icon. It looks like a series of semicircles emanating from a small dot in the middle. The lines symbolize the radio waves for wireless transmission.
- Select who to share with: Now select which people in your vicinity you can share with via AirDrop. The options are “Contacts only” or “Ten minutes for everyone”. After sharing the files, end the AirDrop function via “Receive off”.
- Note: The person with whom you want to share the files or from whom you want to receive files must be nearby within your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi must be switched on as AirDrop requires these connections
