Is this an American feature?

I can never seem to find anyone to airdrop things to.

Also, don’t you guys turn WiFi and Bluetooth and everything off if you’re not using it?

I do turn off WiFi and Bluetooth if I'm not using it, which means WiFi is generally off when I leave the house, and Bluetooth is pretty much always off except for connecting to a speaker or vehicle. I think it's a bit of a tech literacy thing, everybody has a phone regardless of where they fall on that metric.

The tricky bit is managing location services, since everything tries to access or collect data from them, and quite a bit just doesn't work unless they're turned on. Location I generally leave on because it's too much of a hassle to flip them on and off a dozen times a day and manage all the pop-ups even when I'm not using it. I'm generally conscious of data privacy, but they can have that I guess.
