To receive Airdrop files, you need to make your iPhone discoverable to other devices. Here’s how to do it:

2. Tap on the Airdrop icon, which looks like a cloud with an arrow.
3. Select “Everyone” to allow your iPhone to be discovered by any device.
Step 4: Receive the Airdrop
Now that your iPhone 11 is discoverable, you can start receiving Airdrop files. When someone tries to send you a file, you’ll see a prompt on your screen. Here’s what to do:
1. Look for the Airdrop notification on your iPhone’s screen.
2. Tap on the file you want to receive.
3. The file will be transferred to your iPhone 11, and you can access it from the appropriate app (e.g., Photos, Files, etc.).
Step 5: Manage Your Airdrop Files
Once you’ve received a file via Airdrop, you can manage it just like any other file on your iPhone 11. Here are a few options:
1. Open the file directly from the Airdrop notification.
2. Save the file to a specific location on your iPhone, such as the Photos app or a folder in the Files app.
3. Delete the file if you no longer need it.
