Apple air mail drop
You're referring to the Apple AirDrop feature!
AirDrop is a built-in feature on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac) that allows users to share files, photos, and other content with other nearby Apple devices. Here's how it works:
How to use AirDrop:
- Make sure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and Bluetooth is enabled.
- On the device you want to share from, open the Files app, Photos app, or any other app that allows sharing.
- Tap the "Share" icon (usually a box with an arrow coming out of it).
- Select "AirDrop" from the sharing options.
- Choose the device you want to share with from the list of nearby devices.
- If the recipient accepts the share, the file will be transferred wirelessly.
AirDrop settings:
You can adjust AirDrop settings on your device to control who can find and connect with you:
- Receiving:
- Allow Receiving: Choose who can find and connect with you (Everyone, Contacts Only, or No One).
- Ask to Join: Choose whether to ask the sender to join a group chat or not.
- Sending:
- Allow Sending: Choose who can receive files from you (Everyone, Contacts Only, or No One).
Tips and limitations:
- AirDrop only works with Apple devices running iOS 7 or later, and macOS 10.9 or later.
- AirDrop uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to transfer files, so it may not work if these features are disabled or not available.
- AirDrop has a range of about 30 feet (9 meters), so it's best used in close proximity to the recipient.
- AirDrop is not secure, as it uses an unencrypted connection to transfer files. Be cautious when sharing sensitive information.
I hope that helps!
