Do you often receive indecent photos delivered through the air? Quick look at the phone's settings function | Subway | Settings
Have you ever encountered a situation where you suddenly received a delivery message via air on the subway, but upon opening it, it turned out to be a "hot eyed" image?
Previously, the topic of "Hangzhou girls receiving indecent photos across the subway" has sparked heated discussions. Recently, a reporter from China News Finance and Economics tested that in densely populated areas such as the subway, many users still have the "everyone" feature enabled through the air, which means that these people may receive messages from others at any time.
However, this situation may soon become a thing of the past. Recently, the National Cyberspace Administration of China drafted the "Regulations on the Management of Close Range Ad hoc Network Information Services", which requires that users of close range ad hoc network information services are not allowed to use the service to publish or forward illegal information.
There is a lot of chaos in aerial delivery, and if these are suspected of illegal activities
In April of this year, a female citizen in Hangzhou received a photo of a male exposing her upper body through a certain brand of electronic product's airproof delivery function while riding the subway. Subsequently, "Hangzhou female subway passengers received indecent photos through airproof delivery" became a hot topic on Weibo.

Currently, there are still many users who have enabled the "everyone" feature in public places. Test screenshot
According to the police report released by the Metro Branch of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau in May, the use of electronic products to transmit harmful information such as fraud, violence, and pornography through the air delivery function is suspected of illegal and criminal activities. Please do not open images, texts, videos, and other messages sent by strangers casually, and be alert to receiving all kinds of harmful information.

Recently, a journalist from China News Finance and Economics conducted tests in subway and other places, and found that many users still have enabled the "everyone" function for air delivery, allowing them to send pictures and other information to these people at any time. Tests have shown that even if storage fails after receiving the airproof delivery information, selecting "Open with 'File'" can still see the relevant information thumbnail.

Regarding some issues with air delivery, Apple has informed China News Finance that in iOS 16.2 or higher, if you set the air delivery option to "everyone", this option will be restored to "contacts only" after 10 minutes.
It is understood that the iOS 16 series can support iPhone 8 and later models.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that in the recent privacy update released by Apple, there have been further updates on air delivery and other related topics. When users receive negative information, they will be reminded, "This may be very sensitive. Are you sure you want to review it?"
Sensitive content warnings will be added to features such as air delivery. Screenshot of Apple's official website.
According to Apple's official website, sensitive content warnings help adult users avoid accidentally seeing nude images and videos received through messaging apps, airdrop notifications, FaceTime call video messages, and more. Like communication security, all images and videos processed by sensitive content warnings are completed on the device side.

In addition, Apple has redesigned a new sharing method in iOS 17, which allows for information sharing by placing two iPhones together. The new software features will be launched this autumn. But the original method of airdrop sharing still exists.
New regulations or regulations may be introduced, and air delivery cannot be arbitrary
For some functions of short-range ad hoc networks, the State Internet Information Office drafted the Provisions on the Management of Information Services for short-range ad hoc networks, which was announced recently. The draft for soliciting opinions proposes that users of close range ad hoc network information services are not allowed to use the service to publish or forward illegal information.

It should be noted that the draft for soliciting opinions also states that "in the process of providing services, close range ad hoc network information service providers shall not default to providing summary information preview functions such as snapshots and thumbnails without the consent of the recipient.". As mentioned earlier, currently when selecting "file" to open the failed airdrop storage, a thumbnail of the information can be displayed without fully receiving it.

The draft for soliciting opinions also proposes that close range ad hoc network information service providers should provide receiver functions such as disabling reception, selecting reception, and automatic blacklist rejection during the service provision process, and default to disabling reception status.
