File photo Updated: May 2, 2021, 02:49 PM IST This is a piece of important news for users of Apple devices. AirDrop, which is one of the most popular features to share content between two Apple devices, has now been diagnosed with a flaw that can potentially expose all the private data of a user in the WiFi range, MSN.com reported. Researchers at Technische Universitat Darmstadt in Germany suggest that simply opening an iOS or macOS sharing panel could expose personal information to people in range. This could reportedly happen even without initiating a file transfer and can expose a significant risk. As many as 1.5 billion users are likely to be affected by this issue, but Apple hasn’t acknowledged it yet. The researchers were further quoted as saying that the only way to avoid falling prey to this flaw is to stop using AirDrop, at least until Apple issues a fix.
