Apple’s AirDrop service lets iPhone and Mac users share content wirelessly to other nearby devices with a single tap. The service uses a peer-to-peer connection over Bluetooth or WiFi to connect to nearby devices.
Any iPhone running iOS 7 or above versions can use AirDrop feature to send and receive content on their iPhone. This includes the iPhone 6, which was launched with iOS 8 pre-loaded.

. - You’ll see a Tap to share with AirSrop section in the share menu. From here, select the person you want to share files with.
