- 1.3.3 Tap the Select button at the upper-right.
- 1.3.4 Tap the thumbnails you want to send, and Photos marks them with a checkmark.
- 1.3.5 To deselect an item, tap the thumbnail again.
- 1.3.6 If you want to send all (or most) of the images in a single moment, you can select them all at once and save some time. First tap the Photos button at the bottom of your screen to enter Photos view, which splits your images into âmomentsâ based on time and location. Then tap the Select button at the upper-right corner of the screen, which makes a smaller Select button to the right of each momentâs name and location. Tap that to select every image at once, and then tap any youâd like to deselect, or tap Deselect to deselect the whole moment.
- 1.3.7 Once youâve selected some thumbnails, tap the Share icon at the lower-left corner. Youâll see several options for sharing, with the icons of nearby AirDrop users at the top. Simply tap the person you want to send the file(s) to. On the recipientâs iOS device, a message appears asking them to decline or accept the transferâtapping Accept adds the files to their Photos library. If, however, you send the file to another device registered with the same iCloud account, Apple assumes you own both devices and the files are transferred without the need for approval.
- 1.3.8 If the recipient is on a Mac, they need to open an AirDrop window in the Finder (choose Go > AirDrop, press Shift-Command-R, or just look for AirDrop in your Finder windowâs sidebar), or else you wonât see their AirDrop icon. In the AirDrop window on the receiving Mac, a message appears that lets them decline, save, or save and open the files. The resulting files land in the Macâs Downloads folder.
- 1.4 How to use Photos for Mac
- 1.4.1 The process for using AirDrop in Photos for Mac is just as easy. Simply select some thumbnails by Shift- or Command-clicking them and then click the Share icon in Photosâ toolbar (or the Share icon that appears when you point your cursor to a moment in Photos view). In the resulting menu, click AirDrop.
- 1.4.2 A message appears in the middle of the Photos window that contains tiny thumbnails of the image(s) you selected along with the icons of nearby AirDrop-enabled devices. If you donât see the icon of your intended recipient, try opening an AirDrop window yourself to jumpstart the process.
- 1.4.3 While there are other options for using Photos to share pictures and videosâsay, shared albums and Family Sharing, AirDrop is a quick and instant way to get it done without Internet access.
