AirDrop
Use AirDrop
Use AirDrop
AirDrop lets you share your photos, videos, websites, locations, and other items wirelessly 
with other nearby devices (iOS 7 or later). With iOS 8, you can share with Mac computers that 
have OS X Yosemite installed. AirDrop transfers information using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. To use 
AirDrop, you need to be signed into iCloud using your Apple ID, and must be on the same Wi-Fi 
network, or within approximately 33 feet (10 meters) of the other device. Transfers are encrypted 
for security.
Share an item using AirDrop. Tap Share  , tap AirDrop, then tap the name of a nearby AirDrop 
user. AirDrop is also available in Control Center—just swipe up from the bottom edge of 
the screen.
Receive AirDrop items from others. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open 
Control Center. Tap AirDrop, then choose to receive items from Contacts only or from Everyone. 
You can accept or decline each request as it arrives.
Family Sharing
With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share their iTunes Store, App Store, and 
iBooks Store purchases, a family calendar, and family photos, all without sharing accounts.
One adult in your household—the family organizer—invites family members to join the family 
group and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases those family 
members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate 
access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. In addition, family 
members can easily share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar, 
share their location with other family members, and even help locate another family member’s 
missing device.
Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian, the family 
organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID, and create it 
on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to the family group automatically.
Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to 
confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. It is available on 
devices with iOS 8, Mac computers with OS X Yosemite, and PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0.  
You can be part of only one family group at a time.
Set up Family Sharing. Go to Settings > iCloud > Set Up Family Sharing. Follow the onscreen 
instructions to set up Family Sharing as the family organizer, then invite family members to join.
