Why didn’t they warn against giving devices to children that are mainly controlled by a third-party company?

Fear mongering by idiot cops that don’t know anything.

The default settings is “only my contacts” so they have to be in your contacts.

The phones have to literally be touching each other, so that’s really close.

You also have to select the images and hit share for pictures.

This is just a revision of airdrop really…

Fucking idiots.

This feature only stays active if set on contacts only, and if your contacts are stealing your information, you have bigger problems than NameDrop.

The public setting turns off after 10 minutes. Nice try, piggies…
