 You're referring to the Airdrop feature on iOS devices, also known as "Airdrop sharing".

Airdrop is a convenient way to share files or other content between Apple devices (like iPhone, iPad, and Mac) without needing to physically connect them or use email. Here's how it works:

1. Make sure both devices have Airdrop enabled: On your iOS device, go to Settings > General > AirDrop. Set the option to "Contacts Only" or "Everyone" depending on your preference.
2. Choose what you want to share: Open the app or file you want to share and select the Share icon (usually a box with an arrow).
3. Select Airdrop: From the sharing options, tap Airdrop.
4. Find the receiving device: Your iOS device will list nearby devices that have Airdrop enabled. Choose the one you want to send the content to.
5. Authenticate if necessary: If the recipient has a password or Face ID set up on their device, they may need to authenticate before accepting your share.
6. Confirm the transfer: Once the recipient accepts the share, you'll see a confirmation message on your device.

Airdrop uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to create a peer-to-peer connection between devices, making it a quick and easy way to share files, photos, contacts, and more!
