New iPhone iOS 17 feature sparks safety fears - but should you be concerned?
Briefly

Similar to AirDrop, the new-to-iPhone feature NameDrop allows users to quickly share their contact information with nearby iPhones or Apple Watches, rather than having to hand over their phone to a new person to exchange info.
'Dear iPhone users: How to turn NameDrop off after update. 1. Go to Settings 2. Tap 'General' 3. Tap 'AirDrop' 4. Toggle 'Bringing Devices Together' to off. You're welcome,' one person wrote on X.
According to Forbes, multiple law enforcement agencies across America have even issued security warnings over the feature, warning people - particularly parents - that the feature could 'share your contact information by being next to another iPhone' and implying that children could be in danger.
