When someone sends you an item via AirDrop, you’ll see a preview of the item and the choices to Accept or Decline.

While accepting an item on iOS, it will appear in an app per the item type. For instance, a photo appears in the Photos app and an app link will appear in the App Store. On Mac, the item will go into your Downloads folder.

Sending with AirDrop

You can also send items using the Share options on your device. When you tap or click the Share button, AirDrop will show and you’ll see the nearby devices you can send the item to. Just select the one you want and you’ll see when it’s Sending and Sent.

On your Mac, you can also use the AirDrop window. Just open AirDrop using Finder and drop an item onto the device you want to send it to in the window.
