Apple has restricted the “Everyone” option to 10 minutes in its Airdrop application in the new iOS 16.1.1 update on iPhones purchased in mainland China, which means people can no longer keep their Airdrop on for an unlimited time.
Airdrop allows instant file transferring as it uses Bluetooth Low Energy and peer-to-peer wifi technology.
According to TechCrunch, Airdrop is one of the few uncensored communication mediums in China because of its instant file-sharing feature, which is why, in recent weeks, people used the feature to share politically sensitive content as the country’s top leadership reshuffled.
