Airdrop Overview
Airdrop utilizes a combination of both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology to enable wireless file sharing between iOS devices. It was first introduced by Apple, enhancing convenience and speed in transferring files.
Working Mechanism
When a user selects the Airdrop option, their device creates a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi network with nearby devices. This network utilizes encryption for secure file transfer, ensuring data protection and privacy.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Activate Airdrop on both sending and receiving devices.
2. Select the file to be shared and tap on the share icon.
3. Choose the Airdrop option and select the recipient device.
4. The recipient will receive a notification to accept the file transfer.
5. Once accepted, the file is transferred directly over the secure Wi-Fi network.
Airdrop revolutionizes file sharing by eliminating the need for cables or third-party apps, offering a seamless and efficient way to share files wirelessly.
