AirDrop is a peer to peer technology mostly used by Apple product. This technology is used to transfer photos and contacts wirelessly between iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac. The technology was first introduced by Apple in Mac OS X Lion and iOS 7. But with the update of iOS 11, the issue of AirDrop not working on iPhone/iPad in iOS 11 has been bothering many users. So how to fix this problem, Before you look for the solutions, there's something you need to know about AirDrop first. AirDrop uses a low latency, high-speed peer to peer protocol that transfers data. It mostly uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to transfer content between nearby devices. But AirDrop is not supported by all Apple devices and iOS systems. It only works in devcies running in iOS 7, Mac OS X lion (10.7) and later. To transfer content, the distance between both devices would better be no more than 30 feet (about 9 meters).
The best part about AirDrop is that it encrypts the content before it is transferred over the air. This will enable security and privacy for your data when transferring. If the iOS devices are all supported by AirDrop, and the distance between two devices is not too wide, and AirDrop still not working on iPhone/iPad, you may try the following solutions. In order to AirDrop contents, you need to make sure that both the devices have AirDrop turned on.There are three options in AirDrop. You can choose to receive content sharing from contacts or everyone nearby. The first thing you need to do is to turn off AirDrop and turn it back on. It works most of the time. To turn on AirDrop you have to open the Control Center which you can do by swiping from the bottom edge of your phone. Then you should tap AirDrop. Select whether you are transferring to everyone or contacts only.
