In order to transfer photos
from iPhone to iPhone with Airdrop, you’ll need an iPhone 5 or later running at
least iOS 7. If you’re transferring photos from your iPhone to a friend's
iPhone, they too will need to have an iPhone 5 or later running at least iOS 7.
To Transfer Photos from iPhone to iPhone:

First,
make sure you have AirDrop on. To do this, swipe up from the bottom of your
screen to open Control Center.

on AirDrop and select either Contacts Only or Everyone. If you select Contacts
Only, only the people in your Contacts will be able to send or receive AirDrops
to or from you.

The
other iPhone will receive a notification you’re trying to send it something via
AirDrop. Once the owner of that iPhone taps Accept, the photo(s) will be added
to the Photos app on that iPhone.
