How Do You Drag and Drop on iOS 15?
iOS 15 allows you to use a continuous gesture to drop text, images, or documents from a source app to a destination app. Before iOS 15, you could drag and drop within a single app only.
Drag ad Drop Text Between Apps
You can easily move text or URLs between apps instead of copy-pasting them.
Drag and Drop Images Between Apps
Image sharing is faster and more intuitive with a drag and drop. On an iPhone, the source is often the Photos app, while the destination can be any social apps.
Drag and Drop Documents Between Apps
Follow the same steps as above to drag and drop documents between apps. Files can be audio and video files, PDFs, or other document formats. For example, you can drag and drop a PDF from the Files app to your email.
How Do I Drag and Drop Between Apps?
Before iOS 15, you could drag and drop within an app but not across apps. It takes some skill with the fingers to do a drag and drop. But it’s faster than the typical copy and paste or successive download and upload of a document. Drag and drop also allows you to handle multiple files if you can skillfully use two or more fingers. Ideally, keep the destination app and the location for the drop open as a preview in the middle of the screen to make it easier.
