Arguably, AirDrop is one of the most convenient features Apple has ever made. You can easily share files across devices from an iPhone to an iPad, Mac, or vice versa. Transfer photos, videos, documents, and more, literally by tapping a couple of times on your device. No cables, and no additional apps.
Ordinarily, AirDrop makes use of both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to create fast, reliable connections. But what if you are in a place where there is no Wi-Fi? Well, with the new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, a way is available wherein AirDrop can be used without actually having to be connected to a Wi-Fi network.
This tutorial will walk you through the steps to easily use Airdrop without WiFi on the iPhone 16 & 16 Pro.
