How to use Airdrop on iPhone?

I saw something recently about how one of the recent updates for the iPhone included something about airdrop. I've got an iPhone 5 with the latest software - is there a way to use airdrop on my phone?

You need someone to connect with and then follow these steps…

I'm not sure if 5 has the hardware or not, you will have airdrop in your settings if so
