Good morning. Anytime we update our devices, we must understand any changes or new features. The current Apple update included a feature, that when enabled, allows someone to place their phone next to your or your family member's phone, and receive contact information including phone number, email address, picture, and more. To turn this feature off take these steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to General
3. Go to AirDrop
4. Turn Off “Bringing Devices Together”
The action of sharing a person's contacts would have to be approved but this feature is up and running after the update.
Be Safe!

Is it automatic? Or do users need to accept or consent to that? I imagine it would be similar to air drop…

It’s been an amazing school year! I just wanted to say thank you to all the schools, towns, youth and family services, and organizations that brought me in for my presentations during the 2022-23 school year. I am honored to say that I conducted 171 presentations during this school year for new and returning clients. I am very grateful for these opportunities to work together to empower students and families. I am looking forward to some opportunities over the summer that will include working with new organizations. I will also be preparing material for next school year, which will include incorporating fresh and, as always, the latest trends in technology.
If your school or organization would like information on hosting a presentation, please let me know.
Thank you and be safe! ... See MoreSee Less
