AirDrop is a feature of Apple devices that allows senders to quickly send data to another Apple device. AirDrop works fine if the recipient's device is within range of the sender. This feature is often used to send photos, screenshots, and other types of information such as documents for quick and easy transfer.
The device's default name is iPhone or iPad, which is the same as the AirDrop name. Whenever someone wants to send a file to your device, they must select the AirDrop name on your screen from a list of potential nearby devices. This can be a problem, especially when there are other Apple device users around with the same default AirDrop name.
So, it's important to give it a recognizable name before using AirDrop. A unique name makes it easy to find you among the many other Apple IDs to choose from, preventing you from sending files to unintended parties.
