<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Police warning parents about new iPhone feature</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">By bringing the devices very close to one another, the functionality makes it simple for users to share their contact information with another iPhone or Apple Watch.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You have the option to exchange or receive the other person's information after the devices have been connected. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">According to Apple, you may also stop the transfer before it's finished by locking your phone or relocating the devices apart.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">On its website, the business clarified that NameDrop is only effective for delivering new information; it cannot be used to update contacts that are already on your phone.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">"PARENTS: Don’t forget to change these settings on your child’s phone to help keep them safe," the Middletown Division of Police stated on Facebook.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">In this regard, there has also been <a href="https://gospeedcheck.com/article/oakland-county-sheriffs-office-warns-about-apple-iphone-system-update-1277"><strong>a new warning about Apple iPhone system update</strong></a> from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.</p>
