Lock Down AirDrop and Continuity on iPhone
| Title | Lock Down AirDrop and Continuity on iPhone |
| Severity | Medium |
| Category | ⚙️ System Security & Communication |
Description
Section titled “Description”AirDrop, NameDrop, Handoff, and AirPlay make nearby sharing easy, sometimes too easy. Leaving them wide open can mean unexpected file prompts, contact sharing, media handoff, or device-to-device behavior you do not actually use.
Keep AirDrop limited, turn off proximity sharing if you do not use it, and disable Continuity features you do not rely on.
