You can't. You can only set it to "Everyone for 10 Minutes".

The previous poster is using information from 2021.

To enable AirDrop for everyone permanently on your Apple device, follow these steps:

1. Open the Control Center: Swipe down from the top right corner on iPhone X or newer models, or swipe up from the bottom of the screen on iPhone 8 or older models.
2. Press and hold the network settings card: Locate the section with connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and AirDrop. Press and hold the card that represents the network settings.
3. Expand the AirDrop options: A new window will appear with different AirDrop settings. You should see options like "Receiving Off," "Contacts Only," and "Everyone."
4. Select "Everyone": Tap on the "Everyone" option to enable AirDrop for all nearby devices.

By following these steps, you will set AirDrop to be discoverable by all nearby Apple devices by default. Keep in mind that other users also need to have AirDrop enabled on their devices to send or receive files from you.

It's worth noting that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the iOS version you are using. If you encounter any difficulties, you can refer to the Apple Support website or consult the user manual for your specific device.
