Q: Airdrop in iPhone 5s

Hi.

I have an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.2

I guess I should have Airdrop, right? when I go to the control panel there isn't show the Airdrop option, only show me Airplay when I reproduce some music or video. It is normal? I should activate it in other place?

Thanks.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.2

is either your Bluetooth or WiFi on? At least one of them has to be on for air drop to work

Read through this: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content - Apple Support

Do you have iCloud turned On?

Yeah, thanks, I already readed this but didn't help because Airdrop didn't show at the Control Center.
I have all the iCloud options on.

The only thing I didn't try yet is restore the iPhone, I'll try.
