FAQs
Will this work without WiFi or an internet connection?
Yes! AirDrop only requires Bluetooth and an iOS device. However, Bluetooth and WiFi still need to be toggled on in the settings of both the iPad and the receiving iOS device in order to work.
Can Android users send their captures via-AirDrop?
Unfortunately, no. AirDrop is exclusive to Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.).
Can I collect guest data when using AirDrop?
Unfortunately, one of the downsides of AirDrop is that you will not collect any guest data. That’s why we recommend offering AirDrop as a premium add-on for your clients, available for an additional cost.
Why is my guest's device not showing up?
In order for guests to receive a capture via AirDrop, they may need to adjust their AirDrop settings to allow from Everyone. Advise your guests to open the Settings app and navigate to General > AirDrop and select Everyone. Your guest’s device screen must also be awake in order to receive captures.
