This iPhone Hack Should Make Life A Little Easier

This is about to make life a lot easier.

We’re all about life hacks making things a little bit easier and phone hacks are among the best.

Finding out there’s a way to share photos and videos quicker and easier is pretty great news: enter AirDrop.

In our defense, its location isn’t THAT obvious, AirDrop is under the music controls on the control screen, which you swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

Turn AirDrop on, share files, photos, webpages and apps in a split second…quicker than an iMessage. Yes, really.

Although you don’t need a Wifi connection, both your phone and the phone you are sending to must have Wifi enabled. It sounds complicated but trust us, it’s much easier in the long run.

It’s also super handy for moving photos, videos and large files from your phone to your computer.

Switch Bluetooth on, search for other Airdrop users and tap the share icon to send.

No more copy and paste or emailing yourself photos. HAPPY DAYS.
