iOS 17 Update Alert


Flyer with an alert on the new iOS 17 update - person holding a cell phone.

While there are many advantages to the iOS 17 update, there is one new feature and setting you should be aware of...


NameDrop is a new feature that allows the sharing of information such as contacts and photos by just bringing two phones close together. Even with strangers!


Now, while this can be a handy new feature, it can also be worrisome; particularly for parents. With the iOS 17 update, this feature is set to "ON" by default. Here's how you can turn it off:


Go into your phone Settings > go to General > go to Airdrop > go to Bring Devices Together > change this setting to "OFF"


Some of the other neat new features with iOS 17 include:


  • Check in when you're home safe

  • Set multiple timers

  • StandBy Mode transforms your iPhone

  • Go wild with stickers

  • Add video effects with gestures

  • Voicemails get visual

  • Group chats get better in Messages
