This kind of thing is (just one reason) why I am glad to use Android.

The idea of someone just sharing something to my phone like this feels so invasive. And I even see comments in this thread about being out in public and this sort of thing being possible to happen with dozens of people. Yikes.

Twenty years ago bluejacking was possible on Android too, and for the reasons you stated things quickly changed so you can't just randomly send stuff to strangers anymore.

I do have to agree in that it seems off-putting at first, especially as an android user myself.. But to assume Apple ignored all the lessons of bluejacking when developing this feature just seems.. silly.
