AirDrop is one of the built-in features of the iPhone that has become very popular among users today.
With the help of AirDrop, users can send images, videos, files and other things quickly and easily to other nearby Apple devices.
Despite the users’ acceptance of it and the high usage rate, Apple company had not made any serious changes in it and it still had the original shape and capabilities; But now it’s time to improve this feature of iOS and increase its capabilities, which has been done in the new version of the iOS operating system.

According to Aetna, in the new version of its mobile operating system, Apple has added 5 new and interesting features to AirDrop, which are expected to revolutionize the use of this service.
It should be noted that iOS 17 will be released in the fall of this year.

1. NameDrop
Until now, in order to call a new user or send a text message to him and save his number, you had to manually type his number, but now NameDrop makes it easy for you and allows you to easily reject and reject. Exchange numbers and specifications with other iPhone users.

 



When you place two iPhones near each other, each device will display their contact information and then the user can decide which part of their information (including number and email) to share for the other party to receive and save.
Apple has announced that this feature will be applicable between an iPhone and an Apple Watch by the end of the year and by providing an update.

2. AirDrop’s new behavior in quick content sharing
Similar to what happens in the NameDrop function, sending various contents in AirDrop is now accelerated and enhanced.

Now it is enough for two iPhones to be in close proximity to each other, to start transferring content quickly through AirDrop, and in this way, there is no need to manually select the other person from the AirDrop locator.

3. Continue airdrop through the Internet
With AirDrop’s current capabilities, transferring content only works as long as the two devices remain in close proximity to each other, so the transfer will fail if you leave AirDrop range, especially for exchanging multiple content and large video files. It will be unpleasant.

But with the new feature that is added to AirDrop in iOS 17, moving away from the proximity of a device does not cause the connection to be interrupted, but the content exchange continues in a safe and high-quality manner through the Internet; Of course, the main condition is that both devices are logged into iCloud.

4. SharePlay via AirDrop
Two iPhone devices that are in close proximity to each other can do joint activities through SharePlay, and for example, listen to music or watch movies at the same time and enjoy.

But now, thanks to a new SharePlay API, software developers will be able to design and release new apps that support this feature, allowing users to join a game cooperatively, or while playing with a device. They work themselves, watch a shared stream while working.

5. Erase inappropriate images
Although the mechanism of sending content to iOS users is very strong and no one can send a photo or file to your device without your permission unless you explicitly approve it, however, you can see a preview of the content sent on your device’s screen. It will be up to you to decide on it. This issue has caused a long-standing problem in the airdrop system, and the sent image is inevitably seen on the user’s screen.

This problem is especially annoying when the submitted content includes nude and inappropriate images that forcefully occupy the user’s screen.
Apple has provided a new feature in iOS 17 for this problem. Airdropped images that contain inappropriate content such as nudity will now be automatically deleted, and the content will be blocked; However, the user can view it by clicking on the “Show” button.
It should be noted that this sensitivity to inappropriate content is especially part of Apple’s policy for safe communications that the company has added for children.
