Officials: Don't worry about new iPhone feature
There's been concern about a new iPhone feature that allows contact information exchange by linking phones. Some feared it could facilitate data theft, but this isn't entirely the case. The feature, called NameDrop in the latest iOS 17 update, facilitates sharing only personal contact info when iPhones are touched. Contrary to panic, it doesn't download photos or all contacts. Law enforcement is aiming to reassure the public about the safety of this feature, with agencies like Longwood using it to inform their communities.
