Apple released iOS 16.1.1 last month. The world only added new restrictions on AirDrop for China. It changed the option that was originally open to "everyone" to "10 minutes for everyone". It can no longer be shared without restrictions. At that time, it attracted speculation from the outside world. Whether it lost to the pressure of the Chinese government to make changes, because AirDrop has become a weapon of protest, and Apple responded that this measure will expand to the world next year.

With the iOS update, Apple is ready to implement it ahead of schedule.

Apple released the iOS 16.2 RC version to developers earlier, adding many new features, in addition to iCloud end-to-end encryption upgrade, Apple Music Sing, etc., and further brought AirDrop "10 minutes limit for everyone" to the world.

That is to say, in the future, AirDrop can no longer send unlimited data to everyone. It can only be enabled for 10 minutes at a time, and it can only be sent to contacts after the time is up.

The official version of iOS 16.2 is expected to be released next week.

Why is there a restriction on AirDrop?

Apple previously said it was to reduce unnecessary file sharing.

In fact, news that AirDrop has become a harassment tool is emerging all over the world, including Taiwan. AirDrop idiots will use it to send indecent photos to harass women.
