Greetings SKBlues,

We understand you're seeing a number circled in red in AirDrop on your iPhone, and we'd like to help.

Take a look over this article, which talks about using AirDrop on your iPhone: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Then, tell us more about what you're seeing and how you've recently used AirDrop.

-Are you seeing this number circled in red when viewing the AirDrop icon from within a certain application only? If not, be more specific as to where you are seeing this number.

-Have you recently sent content via AirDrop to someone? Or, do you know if someone nearby recently tried to share content with you?

-What happens if you tap on the AirDrop icon where you're seeing the number circled in red? Does it show you content that is trying to be sent to you from someone else?

We look forward to hearing back from you.
