On the iPhone, you can do more than just copy photos, music, or videos from your computer. You can also easily exchange files between iPhones or iPads. Most newer devices like iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, as well as older models like iPhone 6s, 6, 5, or 5c, support this functionality well. If you don't want to transfer iPhone photos to a computer but directly between devices, a feature called Airdrop makes it easy to do so.
In essence, Airdrop is essentially file transfer via Bluetooth, allowing you to send files between iPhones and iPads seamlessly, facilitating fast file exchange between iOS devices without any barriers.
Step 1: First, you need to turn on Bluetooth by swiping up and tapping on the Bluetooth icon, then adjust AirDrop mode from Contacts Only to Everyone.
Note: You need to perform this action on both the sending and receiving devices.
Step 2: Once Bluetooth is enabled, go to the Photos section, we will test transferring files via Bluetooth with the photos on the device, click select then select the photos and click share.
Step 3: At this point, the connected device will appear, simply tap to initiate Bluetooth file transfer.
Step 4: On the receiving device for Bluetooth file transfer, there will be a prompt to accept the file transfer, just wait a moment for the file transfer to complete. Make sure to keep both devices close to ensure a quick and uninterrupted connection.
With the above guide, you can seamlessly transfer files via Bluetooth, easily exchanging between devices, albeit limited to iOS devices only. However, it's worth noting that transferring large files via Bluetooth can be time-consuming. In such cases, it's better to use third-party software. Avoid using iTunes, as it can be quite complicated if you're not familiar with it. Therefore, Mytour recommends copying data to iPhone using iTools, a free and highly effective software.
