Airdrop Updates in iOS 17: A Game-Changer for File Sharing and More

One of the most significant updates to come with iOS 17 is the ability to share large files with another user without having to physically stand next to them. This means that users no longer have to wait for airdrop to complete, allowing them to walk away from the other person while still maintaining an internet connection on their iPhone. This update is a major improvement over previous versions of airdrop and will greatly benefit those who frequently share large files.

Another exciting feature coming to iOS 17 is the ability to tap another iPhone to initiate a file share. When this function is activated, users can find someone on their radar and tap the top right corner of their screen with a notch in Dynamic Island. This allows for a seamless and efficient way to share files without having to physically stand next to each other.

In addition to these updates, iOS 17 will also introduce a feature called "Name Drop." This is a contact poster that holds your phone number, email address, and other relevant information. With this feature, users can now share their Name Drop with others by simply holding their iPhone next to another device. This means that users no longer have to dictate their number or email address in public, allowing for greater control over what information is shared.

Lastly, iOS 17 will bring a new feature called "Share Play Plus Airdrop." Share play allows you to share audio or videos with someone, and now this feature can be initiated using airdrop. When listening to a song on your iPhone, you can use airdrop to kick off a share play experience with another user. This means that users can now listen to the same playlist or watch the same movie at the same time as each other, regardless of physical distance.

The animation for these new features is also noteworthy, showcasing Apple's expertise in creating seamless and visually appealing interactions between devices. With iOS 17, airdrop will continue to evolve and become an even more powerful tool for file sharing and communication.

Overall, these updates to airdrop are significant improvements that will greatly benefit users who rely on this feature to share files and communicate with others. By introducing new features like Name Drop and Share Play Plus Airdrop, Apple is further expanding the capabilities of airdrop to meet the evolving needs of its user base.

playing here a song on your iPhone and you can actually using the same concept tapping your iPhone with another iPhone just like so holding it next to each other just like this you can actually share a song with another user or a movie or a TV show so kicking off share play experiences with airdrop is a new feature coming to the iPhone now let me show you that animation again it's just so cool to

this one now as always if you would like to stay up to date with the latest IOS news and applesauce for updates of course and don't forget to subscribe and make sure you turn on those notifications so that you don't miss another episode alright so the first thing I would like to talk about is the ability to share large files with another user without having to stand next to them until the airdrop is completed so for example if someone decides to share multiple videos with you right it could take quite some time so now you no longer have to stand and next to the person that's receiving that airdrop you can actually walk away in using the internet connection on your iPhone that airdrop will continue to deliver to the other iPhone without having to be standing next to the person so this is a major update of course because I found myself oftentimes sharing videos or large files and having to wait next to the person to airdrop these files well no longer do you have to do this now you can simply walk away and using the internet connection on both iPhones this airdrop will continue to deliver so this is a much needed update to airdrop coming to iOS 17 which I'm really digging another great feature added to airdrop is the ability to tap the other iPhone in order to share a file so let's say you want to share a picture from your iPhone and you don't find the person here where you have your airdrop right there I guess your radar you can call this so everyone that's around you here you now have the ability to tap the other iPhone on the top right there with a notch in Dynamic island is in order to share these files and you get this really cool animation so take a look at that Isn't that cool right there you can actually do this and share it directly with another person in case you can't find that person on your airdrop radar is what I like to call it here so now you have the ability to do that it is actually a little bit faster to do it this way as well but you can continue doing it over the air just like before as you can see right here but now you also have the ability to actually hold another iPhone to the top portion of the recipient's iPhone in order to share files as well this is great for larger files to transfer a lot quicker in my opinion it works a lot faster this way next I want to talk about a name drop this is one of the coolest features coming to airdrop this year with iOS 17 and now with iOS 17 you can create with apple calls a contact poster so basically this holds your phone number your email address and things like that and now you can share these posters using airdrop by simply holding your iPhone next to another iPhone take a look at that really cool animation Isn't that cool I can share any information that I would like from one iPhone to the other by simply holding them next to each other I no longer have to dictate my number in public to someone or email address I can choose what to share with the other person I think this is a great idea again this is name drop and again take a look at that really cool animation when you hold your iPhone it's just so cool apple is definitely the best at animations with software and there it is you can now share with a name share your contact poster in iOS 17. I think a lot of users are going to love this one now last but not least I would like to talk about a share play plus airdrop so share play allows you to share audio or videos with someone now if you're listening to a song you now use airdrop to actually initiate or kick off a share play experience so let's say you're both at the gym and you want to listen to the same playlist so you're playing here a song on your iPhone and you can actually using the same concept tapping your iPhone with another iPhone just like so holding it next to each other just like this you can actually share a song with another user or a movie or a TV show so kicking off share play experiences with airdrop is a new feature coming to the iPhone now let me show you that animation again it's just so cool to see this animation so you share the song just by simply holding your iPhone to the top of the other user's iPhone and you can now share this song song or video or whatever it is that you're watching to kick off a share play experience now it's still in beta as you can see here I don't have the album artwork right there but yeah you can click right here share play and now the other person can listen to the same song you're listening to on their iPhone at the same time and watch the same video Etc and there you guys have it these are much needed updates and improvements to airdrop that I think you guys are going to really really enjoy in iOS 17 let me know what you think about the latest features add it to airdrop I would like to hear from you know's comments down below thank you for watching and I'll see you guys on the next one peace\n"
