airdrop hunting

What's airdrop?

If you are not a iphone owner you may not have heard this term before. Airdrop is a method between apple devices through bluetooth on your device to broadcast and create a network between two devices. You can directly access to the device and transfer the data between those two devices. 

 

How people use it?

When you go to a bar or cafe that want to meet new people, you turn your airdrop on and you can see all available devices on your phone. Basically what they do is, they send their best selfie to those devices and if they like it they approach them and talk to them after.  

 

What's not good about it?

It is very unique way of interacting with people and approach new people without having the first awakward talk. However, your photo might be ended up in the places that you don't want it to be. Your photos can be used very inasppropriately. Also, airdrop is only available for apple devices users so probably it is not possible for galaxy or window phones users to use this method to mingle.
