Some law enforcement agencies are encouraging iPhone users to be cautious following a new update.

    That is not true, airdrop can stay on indefinitely when set to „contacts“ which is enough for NameDrop.

        Yes exactly that’s the point.

      The whole point of NameDrop is to add a new contact. So by definition it literally won’t be usable for airdrop if airdrop is set to contacts only.

          I have. I’ve accidentally initiated NameDrop between my personal and work phones, just by having them in the same pocket. Both set to Contacts Only.

          Imagine a scenario where kids put all their phones in a bad before class or something.
