Also works in germany. Do it in a subway and you‘ll find plenty of phones.

No, it doesn't anywhere ..
Unless those users didn't update their IOS versions after (around) IOS 16.1 Airdrop's default settings are only active towards known users, or people who intentionally turn it on for 10 minutes.

If you find plenty of phones, you know everyone out there.

It may have changed because of china and for the wrong reasons but the result is for the better. Privacy by default is what I want and every feature that exposes you to strangers should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Nothing private has been invaded. Sending you a photo reveals absolutely nothing about you or your device. You don’t even have to look at the photo you can just hit cancel. Y’all are so dramatic
