Sounds like a broad brush smear campaign of AirDrop without any facts to back it up. AirDrop is incredibly useful in our household and we use it frequently. Our computers have to be within about 10 feet of our phones for it to work - BlueTooth is seriously attenuated by simple stud and sheetrock walls. It may work for 30 feet in open, unobstructed rooms, but not through walls.

It broadcasts your name and (apparently) a hash of your phone number. Anybody can find my name in a gazillion public records.

There’s something else going on here.

My Bluetooth (iPhone 8 & AirPods) works great through walls. I can leave the phone on the mid main level, and go pretty much everywhere in the house, upstairs or down, with no signal loss. The other day I went to Lowe’s, and was listening to rush on the AirPods, I almost got inside before I started to hear dropouts.

I had left the phone in the car, easily 100 feet away.

Bluetooth is getting better.
