#AirdropStepByStep Airdrop can refer to two different things:

1. Apple's AirDrop

This is a feature built into Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) that allows you to wirelessly send and receive files like photos, documents, and more with other Apple devices nearby. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it:

Before you begin:

* Make sure the person you're sending to is nearby (within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range).

* Ensure both your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on. Turn off Personal Hotspot if either of you has it enabled.

* Check the recipient's AirDrop receiving settings. If it's set to "Contacts Only" and you're not in their contacts, they'll need to have your Apple ID's email address or phone number in your contact card for AirDrop to work. If you're not in their contacts, they need to set their AirDrop receiving setting to "Everyone."

How to use AirDrop to send:

* Open the item you want to share: This could be a photo in the Photos app, a document in Files, a link in Safari, etc.

* Tap the Share button: It usually looks like a square with an arrow pointing upwards (\uparrow). In some apps, it might be three dots connected by lines (\cdots).

* Tap the AirDrop button.

* Tap the recipient's name or device icon that you want to share with. If you see a red numbered badge on the AirDrop button, there are multiple devices nearby. Tap the button and then select the specific recipient.

* Tip: If you're near someone in your Contacts, you can often initiate an AirDrop transfer by opening the content and then bringing your iPhones close together (on supported models with iOS 17 or later).

How to accept an AirDrop:

* When someone shares something with you via AirDrop, you'll see a notification on your screen with a preview of the item and options to "Accept" or "Decline."

* Tap "Accept" to save the item to the appropriate app (e.g., photos will go to the Photos app, files to the Files app).

How to adjust AirDrop settings:

* Open Control Center:

* On iPhone X or later
