To control who can send you items, change AirDrop’s receiving option separately: choose Contacts Only or, on supported iPhone and iPad software, Everyone for 10 Minutes. Your AirDrop name is your device name; it is not a separate AirDrop setting.
Change your iPhone or iPad’s AirDrop name
- Open Settings.
- Tap General, then About.
- Tap Name, enter the new device name, and finish editing.
Apple uses this device name for AirDrop as well as iCloud, Bluetooth, Personal Hotspot, and the computer. The same path applies on iPad: Apple’s iPhone guide and iPad guide document it. Apple’s security guide says a device that is not verified or authenticated can appear in a sender’s AirDrop share sheet with a silhouette and the device name set in About: AirDrop security overview.

Choose who can send to your Mac
Open Control Center from the menu bar, open AirDrop, and select Contacts Only or Everyone. Apple also documents opening AirDrop from Finder. The Mac guide lists Everyone as a receiving choice, but does not describe the same ten-minute timeout used on iPhone and iPad: Apple’s Mac AirDrop guide.

What the receiving choices mean
| Setting | Who can find you | Duration and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contacts Only | People represented in your contacts, provided the contact card includes the sender’s Apple Account email address or phone number. | Use this when you want AirDrop limited to recognized contacts. If a contact does not appear, check the saved identifier. |
| Everyone for 10 Minutes (iPhone/iPad) | People outside your contacts can discover the device during the temporary window. | Apple says that on iOS 16.2 and later, after ten minutes the setting returns to Contacts Only if you are signed in to an Apple Account, or Receiving Off if you are not. See Apple’s support article. |
| Everyone (Mac) | People nearby can discover the Mac. | Apple’s cited Mac instructions do not specify a ten-minute timeout. |
| Receiving Off (iPhone/iPad) | No one can send you AirDrop items. | Apple documents this as the timeout result for an iPhone or iPad not signed in to an Apple Account. |
Apple’s 2021 security guide describes Contacts Only as the default in its design description, but that does not establish the current setting on every device. Check Control Center rather than assuming what your device is set to.
If someone cannot find you in AirDrop
- Check Contacts Only matching: the recipient’s contact card needs the sender’s Apple Account email address or phone number. A name alone may not be enough. Apple explains the matching requirement in its AirDrop instructions.
- Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on both devices.
- Disconnect Personal Hotspot while trying to use AirDrop; Apple recommends this in its iPhone and iPad AirDrop support article.
- Use the temporary Everyone option when appropriate: on supported iPhone and iPad software, it can help when the sender is not in your contacts. Remember that this is a ten-minute window.
AirDrop codes on newer software
On iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, macOS 26.2, and later, Apple’s current guide says a sender who is not in the recipient’s contacts may need to enter an AirDrop code provided by the recipient. After the code is entered, the two people can share for 30 days without repeating it. The recipient can end that access earlier by going to Contacts > Other Known > Forget This Person. Availability and wording are version-specific; consult the current Apple AirDrop guide for your software release.

Privacy and data use
Apple says AirDrop uses Bluetooth Low Energy to discover nearby devices and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi to transfer data, with TLS encryption. If a transfer has begun and the devices move out of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi range, Apple says it can continue over the internet. To avoid cellular data for AirDrop, turn off Use Cellular Data under Settings > General > AirDrop, as described in Apple’s iPhone guide.
