#AirdropSafetyGuide On the iPhone, the quickest way to turn the feature off is by using the Control Center, which you can open by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen.

Then press the network settings card at the top left, tap the "Airdrop” button, and activate "Receiving Off.” You can also turn it on and off using Settings > General > AirDrop.

With Airdrop turned on, the options are "Contacts Only” or, if you want to exchange data with a non-contact, "Everyone for 10 Minutes.” Using the latter setting, Airdrop switches back to "Contacts Only” after 10 minutes.
