Methods for Transferring Files From an iPhone With AirDrop,

Apple customers may enjoy almost instantaneous file transfers between their devices via AirDrop, which utilises Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The range of AirDrop is restricted to around 30 feet (10 metres) due to the fact that it uses Bluetooth to create a peer-to-peer wireless connection.

Launching AirDrop on an iPhone is as simple as opening the Control Centre and long-pressing the cluster of network-related buttons in the upper left corner to begin the transfer process. If you haven’t done so before, turn on AirDrop. When you activate AirDrop, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will be turned on immediately.

After then, on the other person’s device, long-press the AirDrop toggle and assign it a 10-minute timer to everyone.
