AirDrop isn’t open to everyone by default, and hasn’t been for several years now. The default is to only accept AirDrop requests from known contacts. You can manually turn on “From Anyone” mode, but it will automatically revert back to “Contacts Only” after 10 minutes.
Apple was supposedly bullied into making that change during the pandemic, because protestors were using AirDrop to circumvent government censorship during the lockdowns and protests. Because AirDrop works directly between devices, so no amount of internet censorship will block it.
I don’t think I’m remotely interesting enough to warrant using it.
If you are American, might wanna rethink it…
You could pass by an ICE agent and they’ll airdrop it to you lol
