#AirdropSafetyGuide AirDrop Settings for Staying Safe:

Keeping control of your digital space is essential when using AirDrop. The platform’s user-friendly privacy settings allow you to manage who can see and send files to you.

By default, Apple devices are set to reject AirDrops from people who are not in your contacts. To check your AirDrop settings, follow these steps on Mac, iPhone, and iPad:

Open the settings on your Apple device.

Go to General.

Select AirDrop.

Choose the visibility mode that suits your privacy and comfort level.

"Receiving Off": this option ensures you cannot be reached, providing maximum privacy.

"Contacts Only": a balance between convenience and safety. Only your contacts can see you on AirDrop.

"Everyone": a setting that broadens your visibility, which can be useful but increases risks. On iPhone and iPad, this setting is limited to 10 minutes before reverting to "Contacts Only".

There you go, you have updated your AirDrop settings.
