Where is airdrop on ipad

App links open in the App Store so you can download or purchase the app. If you AirDrop something to yourself, like a photo from your iPhone to your Mac, you won't see an option to Accept or Decline — it'll automatically get sent to your device.

Just make sure that both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID. You can select the Everyone option while using AirDrop and disable it when not in use. Before you begin Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby and within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range. Check that you and the person you're sending to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If either of you have Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.

Check if the person you're sending to has their AirDrop set to receive from Contacts Only. If you're not in their Contacts, have them set their AirDrop receiving setting to Everyone in order to receive the file.

How to use AirDrop Follow the steps for your device. While viewing the photo you would like to share, tap the Share icon on your screen. This will open the photo and automatically select it.

This is signified by the blue check mark and title at the top of the screen. If there are more photos that you would like to select, swipe left or right within the photo area and tap on additional photos to select them as well. Beneath the selected photos, available users' iOS devices will be displayed.

On the iOS device that you've elected to transmit data to, a message will appear on-screen. This will allow the other person to accept or decline the transmission of data. They will go automatically to the app that is associated with their file type. First, however, you have to make sure your iPhone is ready to receive AirDrop files. Tap on "Everyone" to ensure anyone can AirDrop to your iPhone. You will still be asked to approve incoming AirDrops.

Once someone AirDrops you, a pop-up will show up on your iPhone asking if you want to accept the file. When you click accept, the file will be downloaded — but where does it go? For example, pictures will be saved in your Photos app. A presentation will be saved in Keynote. Contacts will be saved in Contacts. And so on. Tap in the row of share options, then tap the profile picture of a nearby AirDrop user.

To send to someone on a Mac, ask them to allow themselves to be discovered in AirDrop in the Finder. To send an item using a method other than AirDrop, choose the method—for example, Messages or Mail—from the row of sharing options options vary by app.
