Apple Limits File-sharing For Chinese IPhone Users After Anti-govt Protest

Beijing, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Nov, 2022 ) :Apple limited file-sharing for Chinese iPhone users Thursday, a month after reports that anti-government protestors used the function to share digital leaflets with strangers.
Smartphones sold by Apple in China can now only receive files from non-contacts for 10 minutes through the AirDrop mechanism before the feature automatically shuts off.
AirDrop did not previously have a time limit.
The update, rolled out in the operating system released overnight, means iPhone users will have to deliberately turn AirDrop on shortly before a file is shared to receive it.
This makes it virtually impossible to receive unexpected files from strangers.
