Use AirDrop on Apple Vision Pro to send items to nearby devices
With AirDrop, you can wirelessly send photos, videos, documents, and more to other nearby devices. You can use AirDrop to send files to your own devices or to share files with others.
Transfers are encrypted for security, and the recipient can accept or decline each transfer as it arrives.
Tip: If you leave Bluetooth or Wi-Fi range after an AirDrop transfer is initiated, the transfer continues over the internet.
Before you begin
Make sure of the following:
Both devices have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® turned on.
The devices are within 30 feet (10 meters) of each other.
If you’re using a VPN, make sure its configuration doesn’t prevent local networking, as that may interfere with some Continuity features.
If you want to use AirDrop to send items between your Apple devices, sign in to your Apple Account to automatically accept and save the items.
Turn on AirDrop
Open Control Center, then tap 
For more information on how to turn on AirDrop on other devices, see the iPhone User Guide.
