How to Turn Off AirDrop on iPhone or iPad

iPhone and iPad, PC and Mobile, Tutorial / By /

Introduction

Apple’s AirDrop feature for iPhone and iPad makes it easy to send items to nearby iOS devices, such as pictures videos, contact information, map information, and more. While this feature is incredibly convenient, having AirDrop enabled can leave you exposed to hackers who are looking to tap into personal information on your iPhone or iPad. As a result, if you don’t use AirDrop regularly and you want to increase your device’s security, you may want to turn the feature off. Examples of all instructions in the steps can be seen in the YouTube video below.
