AirDrop remains one of the handiest ways of transferring files — especially photos —between Apple devices. But what Apple hasn't made obvious is how you can control what data gets sent along with the image.
As well as the basic photo, AirDrop can send over location data or image metadata to let another person see exactly where you took the photo, or let them make major edits to your shot. Alternatively it can send none of that, letting you keep control for yourself when necessary.
