Agencies Monday, June 19, 2023 08:00 PM Since Apple launched the Airdrop service in iOS 7, it has become the preferred method for iPhone users to easily send photos, videos, documents, etc. to nearby Apple devices, and throughout these years this feature has not changed much, but in this In iOS 17, Apple added several new features to AirDrop that would make it better than before, according to aitnews. Here are five new features that will arrive in AirDrop with a system update that is expected to reach iPhones this fall: From typing someone’s number to calling or texting them so they have your number, NameDrop lets you bring your phone close to the other person’s phone to exchange contact details. When the two phones are brought together, each person’s contact card appears with a picture of you that you can customize and edit, and users can select the numbers and email in their contact card they want to share. 2- A new gesture for sharing content: The gesture of bringing iPhone closer to another iPhone that works with the NameDrop feature allows sharing content such as: photos and files. As soon as the two phones are brought together, the transfer will begin via AirDrop, without the need to manually choose the person’s name. 3- Continue file transfer over the Internet: AirDrop currently works in a way that requires you to keep your phone close to the other person’s phone until any transfer is complete, and if you leave the transfer range available in AirDrop, the transfer will fail and the content sharing will not complete. This can be annoying especially when many large files such as videos are sent or received. But if you leave AirDrop in ‌iOS 17‌, the content you want to share with someone will still be sent securely and in full quality over the Internet. The only requirement to use this feature is that both you and the recipient are signed into your iCloud account. 4- Using SharePlay via AirDrop: An iPhone can be placed near another iPhone to start a joint activity with a specific person via the shareplay service, and this allows the two people to listen to audio clips or watch a movie together. And with the new SharePlay API, third-party app developers can make their apps support this feature, allowing you to get into the same game with your friend and other shared activities. 5- Obfuscate the image: iOS does not allow anyone to send a photo or document to your phone via AirDrop unless you agree to do so, but there is a problem with the AirDrop service, which is that it displays a preview of the content that the other person sent that appears on your phone screen, whether you want to see it or not no. This may lead to unwanted images being seen sometimes. and to prevent that; In ‌iOS 17‌ Apple introduced a new feature designed to automatically obscure photos sent via AirDrop that may contain sensitive content, but you can view the photo by tapping the Show button.
