His fundamental advice is that they avoid writing their full names when usingAirDrop on iPhone.
She clarifies that the full name is visible to unknown users of the AirDrop functionality, which allows you to send photos and videos to other people using Apple devices.
Sharing guidance on how to modify your data, Kelly encouraged everyone to access their iPhone settings.
When you reach the settings, at the top of the screen, your name will be visible. When you tap on it, you will be redirected to the “Name, phone numbers and email” section, where you will have the option to modify the name.
Apple will ask you to enter some data into the field instead of leaving it blank, however, instead of using the your full name and surname, you can enter just the initials or your name next to the first letter of the surname.
When your full name is in AirDrop, in a simple way, someone could discover it and, from there, track you and access information on social networks, for example.
The victim presented a frightening experience she had with an unknown man who discovered her name through the Apple AirDrop feature.
She said she was at the airport, sitting next to the man while waiting to board.
As she sat down, he offered her a socket so she could charge her computer and accepted the place to sit. After five minutes after the man left, he came back and sat next to Kelly to continue charging his cell phone.
During the time he was at her side, Kelly was working on her laptop, using her AirPods Max, making it clear that she had no desire to hold a conversation with him.
He didn't seem to get the hint and persisted in trying to start a dialogue with Kelly. After she explained that she was busy with her work and did not want interaction, he suddenly turned and asked if her name was Kelly R.
The girl was scared to discover that the stranger had discovered her full name through Apple technology.
Therefore, Kelly spoke out on social media warning other women not to put names on AirDrops, as unknown people can become invasive.
In the case in question, the outcome was positive for Kelly, with the man leaving without further demands. However, you never know how other people will react.
