Airdrop distance

No, you have to be nearby.

Apple says...Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby and within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range. Both devices are within 30 feet (9 meters) of each other and have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

Kind of like the building on the DMZ between the two Koreas. One sits on one side of the table, the second on the other and then they can AirDrop from two countries! ;)

I was able to Airdrop a video to a friend in another state last week, so even though it says "nearby" it did work for that transfer.

I find that difficult to believe. Are you sure you did not send it via iMessage?

I really don't know Tailor65 weirder things have happened...I had a special icon on my menu bar and it allowed me to switch from Facetime phone calls to Facetime Video I got it right after Updating my Mac OS, a popup came up asking if I wanted to enable it so I did.

At that time I was unsure how to remove it so I asked here, no-one believed me until I sent a screen shot. I never removed it cause you can remove icons from the menu bar and go into the files and put them back but when I checked the files that one was not there.

The next Update it disappeared, I think it was something Apple was going to add and changed their mind but did not block it properly, was I the only one among millions who got it, I say yes.

I tell you all this to say I believe you may have that ability for some reason but why ?

Do you both live on the state line near each other????????????
