Review configuration settings to confirm "Treat AirDrop as an unmanaged destination" is enabled.

This check procedure is performed on both the Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool and the iPhone and iPad.

Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review.

In the Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool, verify "Treat AirDrop as unmanaged destination" is checked.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap "General".
3. Tap "Profiles & Device Management" or "Profiles".
