Introduction

Apple’s AirDrop feature for iPhone and iPad makes it incredibly simple to send files and information to iOS devices that are in your vicinity. The type of content you can send to someone using AirDrop includes videos, contact information, pictures, map information and more. If AirDrop sounds like something that could make your life easier, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got it enabled. Examples of all instructions in the steps can be seen in both the YouTube video above and the image collection located beneath the steps.
