This feature ensures you won’t just appear in other people’s AirDrop panels as you walk around. If you want to AirDrop with people without adding each other to your contacts, you can always temporarily switch AirDrop to work with everyone, ignoring contacts. If you want to AirDrop with people, they’ll need to add you to their contacts, and you’ll need to add them as a contact. This shouldn’t require much effort - if you’re doing this with someone you know, you’re probably already in each other’s contacts. Unfortunately, AirDrop does require Apple devices, so it isn’t compatible with Android or Windows devices.ĪirDrop Depends on Your Contacts for Privacyīy default, AirDrop only makes you discoverable to people who are in your contacts list. You can use it to send content between your own devices, or share it with someone else’s devices if they’re nearby. Unlike similar Android and Windows Phone solutions that require back-to-back NFC contact of your phones, AirDrop works entirely wirelessly over Bluetooth. It’s available on iPhones and iPads since iOS 7, and Macs since OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
