Hello Moistyy001,


You can utilize AirDrop on your devices using the steps below:


1. Open an app, then tap Share or the Share button . If you share a photo from the Photos app, you can swipe left or right and select multiple photos.
2. Tap the AirDrop button.
3. Tap the AirDrop user that you want to share with. Or you can use AirDrop between your own Apple devices. If you see a red numbered badge on the AirDrop button, there are multiple devices nearby that you can share with. Tap the AirDrop button, then tap the user that you want to share with. Learn what to do if you don't see the AirDrop user or your other device.


You can also find those steps in this resource: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


There aren't any additional steps for specific device models.


Hopefully that addresses your inquiry. Take care.
