This would make the protocol less secure. Currently is limited to set software and hardware. It’s very difficult to exploit.
It would also provided access to more information about the user than they currently would expect to share when they have airdrop enabled.
Apple would have to redesign airdrop significantly to support this or risk major privacy and security issues. If apple does this you should stop using airdrop.
Yah, I don't think you actually know how the tech works under the hood. Not true.
I don’t think you know how it works. AirDrop isn’t the same as Bluetooth or local network sharing. Its significantly more complex and requires access to both parties location and contacts.
If you want this kind of security you aren't using a snartphone.
How will they ever afford it!?
