Does airdrop accept a file from someone?

The Everyone option may sound insecure, but AirDrop lets you choose whether or not to accept a file from someone, so you can always block the transfer. If you don't want people sending you unsolicited nudes or other random photos, set AirDrop to Receiving Off (or No One on Mac).

Can everyone see my device using airdrop?

Everyone: All nearby Apple devices using AirDrop can see your device. When you set your AirDrop option to Everyone for 10 Minutes in iOS 16.2 or later, your option reverts to Contacts Only 3 after 10 minutes. If you see Receiving Off and can't tap to change it: Go to Settings > Screen Time. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions.

How do I use airdrop on my iPhone & iPad?

On iPhone or iPad, that means opening Settings > General > AirDrop. On a Mac, open Finder and click the AirDrop tab, then use the drop-down menu at the bottom of the window. To send or receive data, your device must be set to Contacts Only or Everyone.
