Now owners of iPhones sold in China with iOS 16.1.1 will be able to choose between completely turning off AirDrop, allowing only contacts to share files, or making the phone visible to everyone, but only for 10 minutes.

According to Bloomberg, the reason for this update was that during the protests, the protesters used AirDrop to share posters against Xi Jinping and the government.
