"Police Departments Issue Warnings on Apple's iOS 17 Update, Caution Parents"

Several police departments in Massachusetts are warning parents about a new feature called NameDrop in Apple's recent iOS 17 software update, which allows the sharing of contact information by bringing phones close together. Tech experts warn that this feature can be particularly dangerous for children, as it could expose their personal information to strangers and potentially lead to stalking or other cybersecurity risks. Police advise parents to turn off this default setting on their children's Apple devices to ensure their safety.
