How the fuck is it possible to airdrop files to strangers' phones?
That's a massive invasion of privacy. Just imagine getting a notification on your phone while you sit on the bus, and when you click on it, it's a pic of the guy sitting in front of you jerking his cock.
Fun fact: The Chinese government can routinely overcome the encryption used by AirDrop, which allows them to track users and get their phone numbers and email addresses.
it’s not possible anymore iirc because of a recent update. you can enable universal receiving but it turns off after a few minutes always. OOP is making this story up most likely.
Or they meant Quick Share on Android, but I doubt anyone actually uses that.
most likely its just a joke. “i airdropped this to everyone at [location]” has become a trope thats almost its own meme format and doesn’t require any proof.
I hate this. I loved always having airdrop for everyone on and I'd sometimes randomly get funny pictures airdropped and would airdrop funny pictures back. Sometimes even having a random conversation with a stranger in the same place.
This was genuinely a great feature (and something you explicitly disable), so it really sucks that this is not possible anymore (as the setting doesn't exist anymore / turns off automatically after a few minutes).
I've never had airdrop but this sounds like fun. I would have loved this feature too, even if it meant an occasional unsolicited dick pic.
i think what u r describing is pictochat, not airdrop.
…no, I'm describing AirDrop
Unironically this happened to me in middle school. It's not even a hypothetical situation, it's just what people do lol
oh no my chineseeroos!!! xi jingping is going to airdrop his dick pics to my mother!
They're going to lift your bank and house info oh noooo
