(BERLIN) The iPhone's 'Airdrop' feature makes it easy to share photos and videos between Apple's various devices, but now cybersecurity experts have a bad news about this feature. According to Mail Online Germany Experts at the University of Technics have said that thanks to the Airdrop feature, iPhones can be easily hacked and because of this feature, about one and a half billion iPhone users have been targeted by hackers.

According to experts, in order to hack an iPhone via Airdrop, hackers only need a device connected to Wi-Fi and physical proximity from the target device. In this way, hackers can hack not only iPhones but also Apple's laptops and other devices and find out the user's phone number and email. Experts have also developed a solution to this problem. Experts have dubbed it 'Private Drop'. He said that until Apple fixes the bug in Airdrop, Apple users should use Private Drop.
