#AirdropSafetyGuide: Stay Secure with AirDrop

1. Set to “Contacts Only”

Go to Settings > General > AirDrop and choose Contacts Only to avoid receiving files from strangers.

2. Turn Off When Not in Use

Disable AirDrop when you’re not using it:

Control Center > AirDrop > Receiving Off.

3. Beware of Suspicious Files

Never accept files from unknown sources — they could contain harmful content or malware.

4. Use a Strong Apple ID Password

Protect your Apple ID to avoid impersonation or unauthorized access.

5. Monitor Kids’ Devices

For children or teens, ensure their AirDrop settings are supervised and limited to known contacts.

6. Update Regularly

Keep iOS/macOS up to date for the latest AirDrop security fixes.

7. Check Device Names

Use a generic device name (e.g., “iPhone” instead of “Alice’s iPhone”) to avoid targeted drops.
