You can definitely AirDrop a Live Photo to other iPhone, iPad, and Mac users. AirDrop is a feature that allows you to wirelessly transfer files, photos, and videos between Apple devices. It uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to establish a secure connection between the devices.
To AirDrop a Live Photo, you need to have both devices with AirDrop enabled and in close proximity to each other. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Make sure that AirDrop is enabled on both devices. On the sending device, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (on iPhone X and newer) or swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen (on iPhone 8 and older) to access the Control Center. Tap on the AirDrop icon and select “Contacts Only” or “Everyone” depending on your preference. Repeat this step on the receiving device.
2. Open the Photos app on your sending device and locate the Live Photo you want to share.
3. Tap on the Share icon, which looks like a box with an arrow pointing up. It is usually located at the bottom-left corner of the screen.
4. You will see a list of sharing options. Look for the recipient’s device name under the AirDrop section. Tap on the device name to initiate the AirDrop transfer.
5. On the receiving device, a message will pop up asking if you want to accept the AirDrop transfer. Tap on “Accept” to receive the Live Photo.
6. Once the transfer is complete, the Live Photo will be saved in the recipient’s Photos app, and they can view and interact with it just like any other Live Photo.
It’s important to note that AirDrop only works between Apple devices and requires both devices to have AirDrop enabled. This means you won’t be able to AirDrop a Live Photo to an Android user or a PC user. Additionally, make sure that both devices are using compatible versions of iOS or macOS to ensure seamless AirDrop functionality.
I hope this helps! AirDrop is a convenient way to share Live Photos with other Apple device users, allowing you to easily capture and relive special moments.
