    When they’re physically with you and willing to accept files from you, they can give you their number or scan a QR code on your phone.
    In any case, airdrop requests should by default be ignored if the sender isn’t in your contacts, with an option to toggle that.

      Or I can turn on AirDrop temporarily and let them wirelessly send it? How the fuck is handing your phone over to someone better? And a QR code is just annoying compared to tapping a name in a list and the other person accepting your request.

        It all depends on implementation. If AirDrop reception is disabled by default and you don’t get a notification unless you activate it first, then I guess it’s fine.

          That’s exactly how it is.

          The default is only people in your contacts list can ask to send you stuff or you can have it turned off and it’ll stay off.
