iOS 7 - Tips and Tricks - Air Drop

Hello... well i have to say I am impressed with the latest build of iOS 7. My readers are often thinking that I am an Andriod kinda guy.. But I still have a little love for Apple still. until they totally screw up the Macbook Pro.

One feature i do want to talk about is theAir Drop feature in the iOS 7. Air drop was originally part of the Mac OS Lion feature which was introduced by apple so you would no longer need a USB to transfer documents. the feature only worked with other computers also running OSX Lion also. The way it works is if the computer is connected to the same wifi network then the users computer will show up under the finder tab in the application toolbar.

With the new iOS7 this feature is used to share pictures and other sorts of content, but mainly pictures. With the newer apple products, iPhone 5 and later and iPad3 and later (sorry iPad2 and iPhone4S users) this feature is available.

So why do i even care about this feature???? Especially when I can email it or text it to my friend?

Well... Air Drop will actually place the photo into your Photos application, which is very convenient. instead of getting the picture scrolling through messages and using a screen shot to have it in your library.

INSTRUCTION
1. go to photo application
2. selecte picture
3. tap the little paper icon with an up arrow (upload button)
4. make sure the recipient has the air drop feature on..either contacts if you both are in each others contacts or open to be view by all iOS users.
5. Select user
6. User see the preview of the photo and chooses to accept or decline the photo.
