I don't use Apple. How difficult is it to turn off "AirDrop" or limit it to a trusted source?

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Very easy. It’s a setting and I believe “contacts only” is the default value.

Plus, you can’t see it to everyone forever anymore; you can only do that for ten minutes.

Ironically, this is something that China ruined.

Erm, how is it ironic? China had Apple do it because of protesters' using AirDrop.
