JAKARTA - Artist Gisella Anatasia alias Gisel is known to have sent her nasty video to Michael Yukinobu De Fretes via AirDrop. So what is AirDrop and how do you use it?

Indeed, AirDrop is a feature that allows all Mac and iOS devices to wirelessly send data to each other. This service utilizes a peer-to-peer WiFi network between devices and Bluetooth.

This feature has been pinned by Apple since October 20, 2010. At that time, Apple introduced AirDrop on Mac devices with OS X Lion, this service was later extended to iPad and iPhone users.

So what's the difference with Bluetooth or sending data files via WhatsApp or LINE? The answer is because not all platforms can send large data files. In short, the size of the files sent will affect the data quota used to share documents.

So that Mac or iOS users can send a variety of files, be it photos, notes, playlists, contact information, videos and others quickly and don't take up data quota. Apple claims photos and documents can be sent immediately with sharp image quality in the original file size.

However, sending data via AirDrop must be done in close proximity. That means users don't have to be connected to an internet network to connect to AirDrop.

In short, the AirDrop function on iPhone is similar to NFC on Android. Because users have to activate WiFi and Bluetooth to detect nearby devices to connect.

How to Use AirDrop

How do I use AirDrop? If you have never used the AirDrop function, users can find this feature on the Control Panel menu. Just swipe the bottom of the iPhone or iPad screen and tap the AirDrop icon to activate the connection feature.

After that the AirDrop feature is activated, users can adjust settings for sharing data. Where a new dialog box will appear with the option 'Contacts Only' to send data to specific people in contacts only, or 'Everyone' to share data with everyone, even outside contacts.

So before sending files or documents, it's good to pay attention to the following things:

- Keep in mind that this AirDrop feature can only be used by fellow iOS users.

- Make sure that the person sending or receiving the content is within the range of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

- After that the user can select the data that you want to send by pressing the Share and AirDrop buttons.

- For the recipient, just press the Accept button on the pop-up message that appears on their device so that the file transfer process starts.
