AirDrop is often used as a quick and easy way to share files between Apple devices.

Unlike when you share files to your MacBook , however, you aren't given a choice as to where your files get saved. They will go automatically to the app that is associated with their file type.

First, however, you have to make sure your iPhone is ready to receive AirDrop files.

4. Tap on "Everyone" to ensure anyone can AirDrop to your iPhone. You will still be asked to approve incoming AirDrops.

Once someone AirDrops you, a pop-up will show up on your iPhone asking if you want to accept the file. When you click accept, the file will be downloaded but where does it go?

Where AirDrop files go on your iPhone

AirDrop files are stored in the app that matches them.

For example, pictures will be saved in your Photos app. A presentation will be saved in Keynote. Contacts will be saved in Contacts. And so on.

After you've sent or received an AirDrop file, check the app that matches the file type to ensure it went to the right place and was saved. It should automatically save and open in that app's files.
