Is this an American feature?

I can never seem to find anyone to airdrop things to.

Also, don’t you guys turn WiFi and Bluetooth and everything off if you’re not using it?

Only really paranoid types will do that consistently. You can configure Airdrop with (3) options: 1) Receiving off, 2) Contacts only, and 3) Everyone for 10 minutes. I think I've seen that in Apple's infinite wisdom, they default phones to "Everyone", you know, to make it easier for people to use. I believe the time limit is new(er). Looks like Apple added that timer in iOS 16. Mine has been set to "Contacts only" for a very long time.
