when I share a photo with airdrop a 1 in a red dot appears at the top right of the icon, normally a red dot means tap and open/update or similar, but, if I tap the icon it shows people I can share with.
So, how can I clear this red dot please.
I reply to myself :-)
The number in the red dot indicates how many devices are in range with airdrop activated.
This is what I did, went outside away from all devices, shared a photo, there was NO red dot,
(couldn't share), came in range of an iphone, still NO red dot, unlocked phone and I tapped
airdrop on my phone and the second phone showed, locked second phone and that
disappeared from airdrop on my one, had 2 devices open but still only a 1 in the red dot.
Conclusion.... I think its kind of right, (I'll put this down as SOLVED)
