AirDrop
AirDrop lets you quickly send files, websites, photos, locations, and more to other nearby Apple devices. AirDrop is easy, fast, and the information is encrypted for privacy. By default, AirDrop is turned off or set to receive only from people in your Contacts.
AirDrop uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so both must be turned on. The recipient must also have AirDrop turned on in Settings > General > AirDrop. If you are not in their contact list they must turn on Everyone for 10 Minutes (earlier versions of AirDrop have the option for Everyone).
New in iOS 17: AirDrop transfers will continue over the internet if you leave Wi-Fi and Bluetooth range.
- Open the website, photo, or other item on your iPhone, then tap Compartir
, AirDrop, 
, or the app’s sharing option. - Toca AirDrop
, then the contact you wish to share with.
Are you both on iOS 17? Just move your iPhones close together to initiate the transfer process.
If the person you want to share the item with does not appear as a recipient, they need to turn on AirDrop on their device.
