Introduced in Mac OS X Lion, AirDrop is a feature that lets you easily share files with other Mac users on your local network. With iOS 7, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users get to join in the fun. AirDrop on iOS devices can share photos, videos, web pages, map directions, and more. You can't share with Mac computers, though.
AirDrop sharing in the Photos app.
To use it, you need to make sure you and the person you want to share something with have AirDrop turned on. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center, then tap AirDrop. To receive AirDrop shares only from people who are in your contacts list, tap Contacts Only; to share with anyone nearby, tap Everyone. Ask the person you want to share with to do the same.
Next, open an app that supports sharing via AirDrop—in this case, let's use the Photos app as an example. Open a photo, then locate the share button (it's a square with an upward-pointing arrow). If the other person has AirDrop turned on and is nearby, they should show up along the top of the sharing panel. Tap the name of the person you want to share, and they'll get a message asking to accept the photo. Once the person you're sharing with taps the Accept button, your phone will beam the photo to theirs.
What your friend will see when you share a photo with them.
