My iPhone is constantly trying to use AirDrop, even when I'm not trying to share anything. I'm not sure why it's happening or how to stop it. Can anyone help me understand why my iPhone keeps attempting to use AirDrop?

In the video, Technomentary explains how the issue arises due to the AirDrop feature, which allows users to share photos, videos, and other content with nearby devices. When two iPhones are in close proximity, they may attempt to establish an AirDrop connection, leading to the unwanted "connecting" message.

Specifically, users need to go into their device's settings, locate the AirDrop option, and adjust it according to their preferences. They can choose to receive AirDrop requests from "Contacts Only", "Everyone", or turn the feature off completely.
