Apple S Aim To Limit Airdrop File Sharing To All Will Reach Globally Soon

Apple is setting a limit on AirDrop’s ‘Everyone’ setting in China, which will put a cap on the option so that file-sharing with strangers is less. The feature, which is a part of iOS 16.1.1 update, is now set to release for all users globally soon. Check out the details below.

A report by Bloomberg reveals that the capping of AirDrop’s ‘Everyone’ option will be introduced for other regions too in the coming year. For those who don’t know, this is has been released as part of iOS 16.1.1 (available for all) and iOS 16.2 beta in China. Currently, it is just for iPhones purchased in China.

AirDrop allows people with Apple devices to send across photos, videos, and other files to other people with ease. However, turning on the ‘Everyone’ option can oftentimes lead to unnecesary file sharing from people you don’t know, thus, hindering your privacy. This new option aims to curb this and could prove a handy safety feature.
