    I’m gonna be honest, why? Even among iPhone users I’ve never heard people using airdrop. And I’ve never had someone offer to airdrop me a file. It’s always just “send it” to me/you, through whatever messenger app they’re already using, like text/RCS, whatapp, discord, etc.

      It is nice if you prefer the original file with all the associated data/metadata instead of the stripped/transcoded copy that many messaging apps send. No need to cloud or message or nothing. Works without Internet. Just bulk-select 20 pics and tap on the person’s phone.

      Probably will become more popular with so many leaving the cloud, as well.

      The last time I heard about airdrop was when it was first introduced and motherfuckers were airdropping their dick pics on crowded airplanes and shit.
