AirDrop Is Also Better in iOS 17

Apple added another cool feature to AirDrop. Before, you could only transfer files while you were near each other, which made things a bit dull, especially if you needed to transfer big files.

Now, as long as you’re both running iOS 17.1, you won’t need to stay near each other. You’ll need to start the AirDrop transfer nearby, but afterward, you’ll be able to go your way, and AirDrop will continue transferring any file using Wi-Fi or even cellular data (if you have that option enabled under Settings > General > AirDrop).
