If the “Name” field is left as default, it is very common for the real name at the time of purchase to be registered. If your iPhone name is your real name, your name may be unintentionally known to those around you when connecting to Wi-Fi on the go or when you set your AirDrop range to “Everyone”. There is a danger of being lost. Therefore, whether you are considering purchasing an iPhone or have already started using an iPhone, it is recommended that you set your “name” to something other than your real name.
What’s scary about your real name being exposed around you? For example, if your iPhone name is a woman’s name, you can use the AirDrop function to intentionally send obscene images from strangers. damage is actually happening.
I have also been the victim of such an “AirDrop molester” at Ikebukuro Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line before, but in addition to the fear of not knowing who sent it to me, I had a personal device called iPhone. In , it was unexpectedly a shock to me that I suddenly found myself alone with a molesting act that had been carried out quietly without anyone around me knowing.
Let’s review the AirDrop settings!
Instagram users who saw this post said, “I was wondering if my name was on AirDrop!! Be careful with your Wi-Fi at home.”
Also, some of them said, “It’s really dangerous if you don’t do this! AirDrop on the train will not be bad, right?” When trying to send an AirDrop, there were also voices saying that the situation where a considerable number of terminal information is openly displayed is dangerous.
You can also change the reception range of AirDrop by selecting “General” from the “Settings” app and changing the item of “AirDrop” from “Everyone” to “Do not receive”. reception can be prevented.
In the iOS 16.2 that was delivered the other day, even those who had selected “Everyone” in the AirDrop reception settings will automatically change to “Contacts only” after 10 minutes, so I The damage caused by molestation such as the one experienced should decrease in the future.
You can also change the name to your favorite food ◎
Before you start using the iPhone, you should definitely check the “Name” setting. If you accidentally set it as your real name, let’s change it now.
I changed the name to “Hamo no Dobin-mushi” after being molested by AirDrop. Steamed conger in an earthenware pot is one of my favorites, but you can’t tell if it’s a woman or a man, and it creates a dangerous atmosphere when you get involved with it. One way is to do it.
