How the fuck is it possible to airdrop files to strangers' phones?
That's a massive invasion of privacy. Just imagine getting a notification on your phone while you sit on the bus, and when you click on it, it's a pic of the guy sitting in front of you jerking his cock.

Fun fact: The Chinese government can routinely overcome the encryption used by AirDrop, which allows them to track users and get their phone numbers and email addresses.

I hate this. I loved always having airdrop for everyone on and I'd sometimes randomly get funny pictures airdropped and would airdrop funny pictures back. Sometimes even having a random conversation with a stranger in the same place.

This was genuinely a great feature (and something you explicitly disable), so it really sucks that this is not possible anymore (as the setting doesn't exist anymore / turns off automatically after a few minutes).

Maybe Briar? It’s P2P chat app.

I never tried that. It sounds like it might have been fun with a burner.
