Airdrop

Why is airdrop the first app on my favorites when sharing something despite the fact that I’ve never used airdrop before in a decade of having iPhones and I don’t even have anything that shows up airdrop related when I try to search my App Library or settings? I don’t have an airdrop password either…

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

AirDrop is not an App , so it’s not in your App Library. And your screenshots confirm AirDrop is indeed present in your Settings.


AirDrop appears early when sharing something because it is by far the simplest, most direct way to share to other Apple devices.
