There's a saying (that I just made up) that no good feature goes unpunished. And in the case of the iPhone right now, that feature is NameDrop. You might have noticed viral posts sweeping across Facebook declaring that the new iPhone and Apple Watch contact-sharing feature makes it super-easy for bad people to steal your kids' contact details. And as you've probably already surmised, those posts are completely wrong.
What makes things worse is that these tend to come from a place of authority, often local police departments who no doubt mean well but don't quite grasp how NameDrop works. Because it doesn't work at all like they seem to think it does.
