Occasionally, AirDrop will send your file to the wrong person. If your friend Steve’s laptop eats your “Top Secret Pizza Recipe” instead of your own, don’t panic. You can’t unsend something, but you can laugh about it while Steve is overwhelmed with cheese-related responsibility. Private browsing? That’s a myth. AirDrop is a public library—anyone can borrow, but only you notice when a page is missing.
And for heaven’s sake, turn off AirDrop in crowded places. During conferences, people have received random memes, grainy photos, and once, a spreadsheet of someone’s gym schedule. You don’t want to be the person who accidentally AirDrops a selfie to a boardroom of executives wearing matching golf shirts.
