#AirdropSafetyGuide To stay safe when using AirDrop, prioritize discretion and avoid accepting transfers from unknown sources or enabling settings that allow anyone to send files to you. Always verify the sender's identity before accepting an AirDrop and be mindful of potential scams or malicious content.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Be Mindful of AirDrop Settings:
Avoid enabling "Everyone" for AirDrop: This makes your device susceptible to unwanted transfers, including potential malware or scams.
Use "Contacts Only" or "Everyone for 10 Minutes": "Contacts Only" limits AirDrop to your contacts, while "Everyone for 10 Minutes" offers a temporary option for transferring to non-contacts.
Turn off AirDrop when not in use: This minimizes potential risks of unsolicited transfers.
