You should have no trouble turning off AirDrop on your iOS device by navigating to Settings >'' General >'' AirDrop and tapping the Receiving Off button. Swiping up from the bottom of the screen will bring up the Control Center on iOS 11 and subsequent versions. If you notice a red numbered badge on the AirDrop button, there are several devices nearby that you may share with. When you are using the Photographs app to share a picture, you have the opportunity to swipe left or right to choose numerous photos at once. After that, you may do a long press on the networking card, followed by a long press on the AirDrop symbol. This brings up the same choices that are accessible via the Settings menu.
Before You Get Started
- Make sure that the person you are transmitting is close and that they are within the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi range of your device.
- Make sure that you and the individual you are sending the message have the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities switched on.
- Please verify that the person you are transmitting to has their AirDrop configured only to accept files from people in their Contacts list. If they do, and they have you saved in their Contacts, they need to include the email address or cell number associated with your Apple ID on your contact card for AirDrop to function properly.
- If you are not already on their Contacts list, ask them to change their receiving option for AirDrop to everyone so that they may send the file to you.
- You can limit who may view your device and send you anything over AirDrop at any moment by adjusting the receiving option on your AirDrop app to either Contacts Only or Receiving Off.
