I'm trying to figure out how to turn on airdrop on my device. I've heard it's a useful feature for sharing files quickly between 
Apple devices, but I'm not sure how to activate it.

    This can be done by swiping down from the upper-right corner of your screen if you have an iPhone X or later, or by swiping up from the bottom on older devices.

    Once the Control Center is open, locate the tray that holds the Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth buttons.
