I wrote about how teens use AirDrop aka why strangers AirDrop you strange memes before a concert starts.

AirDropping random stuff has been something teens have been doing for a while, but I think it’s just peak now because more kids have iPhones and meme culture is more mainstream than 5 years ago (So more adults encounter drops).

Some kids AirDrop out their Snap code, or include their Insta handle to get more followers. One kid dropped a selfie with a list of reasons you should date him. Many kids I spoke to have made random friends through AirDrop over the years. Anyway, read the full story!
