    This is a nice. A lot of iOS users swear by AirDrop so it’s nice to be able to use it with them if needed.

      Use it for what? Genuinely asking.

      It sends files and stuff between devices right?
      But it’s limited to what’s nearby?
      I’m not sure how it’s better than messaging platforms, they do that pretty well. And from any distance.

        I currently am in a hobby where someone might want to send photos, but we don’t know each other well enough to have each other’s contact details, AND they want to retain quality of the photos of the event that they’re sharing.

        Essentially I’ve only “needed” it twice over the last five years, so not a big deal.

          Happened to me with a group of people when offroading out in the middle of nowhere and no data/wireless. Almost impossible to share info without going back to civilization. Doesn’t happen often, but its a nice feature to have.
