Is there any limit to photos can be sent via AirDrop?

I was trying to send 384 photos from iPhone 5s to iPad Air, but photos app screen goes off. So couldn't send any photo to iPad air.

There is no documented limit, but I would try with a smaller number (I.e. 100 photos, or even 50) since iPhone 5S and iPad Air has a limited amount of ram available.

I agree. There is no limit I am aware of either. But moving a lot of image files all at once can bog things down. Especially if they are large in file size.

I selected 125 photos at once and sent it to iPad successfully.

Good to know. It would be interesting to know if with more recent devices (using 2 Gb of RAM) the limit is higher than that.
