Attention iPhone users.

Its really miss leading I feel like. The phones have to touch be super close and in my understanding you have to do an action on the device to share it.

This guy is qualified to work for any local sheriffs office that’s been peddling this post around.

The phones have to touch. You have to accept the share.

This is nothing revolutionary… unless you have no idea how a mobile device works…

I think it was click bait to get ad revenue I have had 5+ friends send me this article this week alone.

Thank you Sir.

Thanks, was wondering why my work phone and personal phone kept making that weird noise when i put them in the same pocket.

As others have mentioned, this isn't an automatic share. The phones have to make physical contact, and you have to elect to share information.

Much ado about nothing.

That’s literally the only hassle with this feature… they didn’t consider folks that have 2 phones…

iOS 17? Dang, my phone says it’s up to date.

Reminds me of the fad about ten years ago where folks were opening their phones and pealing the near field communications antennae off their batteries because someone posted that it enabled the government to track your movement and listen in on your phone conversations. LOL!
