How To On Airdrop On Iphone 7

AirDrop

AirDrop

AirDrop, a secure, ad-hoc Wi-Fi transfer protocol created by Apple, began life on OS X Lion as a way to easily move files from Mac to Mac and person to person. Pretty much any file available in the Finder can be shared via OS X AirDrop. After a couple of attempts to move it to iOS met with rejections — it was deemed too complicated for mainstream customers — a new, though incompatible version was created specifically for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and released as part of iOS 7. Since iOS has no file system, only items available in the Share sheet — photos, videos, locations, voice memos, notes, etc. — can be shared via AirDrop.

iOS 7 AirDrop uses both Bluetooth 4.0 LE and Wi-Fi, and iOS 7's multi-peer networking, to transfer data. That makes the effective range about 30-feet. Bluetooth is used to broadcast, discover, and negotiate the connection, at which point it's handed off to Wi-Fi for the actual transfer. This allows for the best mix of Bluetooth power savings and Wi-Fi transfer speeds.

What we'd like to see next from Handoff, relay, and more!

Rene Ritchie

Continuity is one of the major new features across Apple's new operating systems, iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and the one that's best embodied Apple's "integration" theme. It lets you AirDrop just about anything between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It makes hotspots instantly available. It relays your phone calls and SMS/MMS between your iPhone and your iPad or Mac, and back again. And it...

How Apple keeps AirDrop files private and secure

Rene Ritchie

AirDrop, part of Apple's Continuity features, makes it easy to share files between your iPhone, iPad, and/or Mac. It's especially useful for files that are larger than Messages or Mail can comfortably handle, and for situations where you want to transfer directly, without any information going over the internet. You have to be within range of Bluetooth Low Energy (BT LE), and have Wi-Fi...

Use AirDrop with pre-2012 Macs

We love AirDrop, which allows people to wirelessly share files between their Macs and iOS devices. But, as with Continuity's other features, pre-2012 Macs are feeling a bit left out. Sadly, there's no way to convince an older Mac to share a file with your iPhone or iPad, but you can transfer files between newer Macs and older Macs. Why can't my older Mac see my iPhone in AirDrop? If...
