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