The feature referred here is AirDrop, with which you can not only send photos from iPhone to iPhone but also transfer files from Mac to iPhone/iPad if you need. Since the method to AirDrop files between iPhones has been introduced already, this article is written to provide the way to transfer files from Mac to iPhone, no matter it's new iPhone X/iPhone 8 or earlier iPhone 7/iPhone 6, with AirDrop. Besides, another reliable and easy way to transfer files from Mac to new iPhone X or iPhone 8 is to use EaseUS MobiMover Free, when you don't want use AirDrop or AirDrop is not working. Read on to get the details.
It's no doubt that both your Mac and iPhone are AirDrop-supported devices. What you need to pay attention to here is that AirDrop requires WiFi and Bluetooth to work, thus you need to make sure there is nothing wrong with these connections. For example, if you get the "Bluetooth not working" issue on your iPhone or Mac, you can not use AirDrop to send files from Mac to iPhone successfully. If both features on your devices work properly, follow the steps below to transfer files from Mac to your iPhone X/8/7/6 quickly.
Step 1: Switch on AirDrop on your Mac.
Step 2: Turn on AirDrop on your iPhone. (Don't forget to switch on Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time.)
Step 3: Transfer files from Mac to iPhone freely. Here sending photos from Mac to iPhone is set as an example.

Or you can click the Share button in an App, choose AirDrop, choose the recipient and then click Done.
