Set AirDrop to “Contacts Only” to Protect Your Privacy (and Your Eyes)

AirDrop lets you transfer files between iOS devices with a swipe of your finger.

It also lets you transfer the files to devices nearby.

Verge writer Josh Lowensohn used a clever way to warn people about this default setting in iOS 8.

He sent by Airdrop pictures of sloths wearing spacesuits to commuters on a train in San Francisco.

Not everything is as pleasant as a sloth in a spacesuit.
