A novelty that was actually already introduced with the arrival in China iOS 16.1.1 And which, very soon, will become part of the Italian market. To increase security for all iPhone owners, Apple has decided to impose a real block on photo sharing Tramite Airdrop.
Not permanent, mind you. To date, in fact, the service offers options “Receive Off”, “Contacts Only” or “Everyone”. With the latter enabled, virtually anyone with an iPhone can send pictures and other multimedia content by simply tapping a selected contact.
With its arrival iOS 16.2, The wording in the question will change “All for 10 minutes”. As can be easily seen from what is written, users will still be able to receive photos from anyone, but everything will be disabled after 10 minutes.
