Also curious. All I know is that sharing via bluetooth seemed to be strangely absent from IPhones last time I checked. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I swear we couldn't find it. Ended up sharing photos over the PC with a USB cable like in the old days. Interacting with apple users and their walled garden is always an experience...

Yes, it is absent, in favour of the proprietary AirDrop.

Lol, yet again, apple makes its products proprietary to the extent of unusability, but it's the rest of the world that must adopt apple's garbage just so iphone users can actually function... Meanwhile I have to listen to the most entitled braindead morons forever crow about how the rest of the world should just get an iphone so that their iphone will work. I literally don't know a single android user that gives a shit what device other people use. But I have to hear about it weekly from iphone users.

I've just decided that I don't care.
