AirDropping penis pics is the latest horrifying subway trend

Given the way this process works I'm thinking all the people jumping on the "Why ever would you hit the accept button, these people are so stupid." bandwagon are likely on the wrong track. Since you see the picture regardless of choice due to the preview I can only imagine that victims are hitting accept to preserve some evidence of what is happening.
They probably should be more careful about their settings but it doesn't make the perpetrators any less garbage.

@ndc Do you get a preview of a note?
“iPhone 1 would like to share a note with you,” read the note sent at 6:51 p.m. She hit “Accept” and was horrified by what she saw. “It was just a huge close-up picture of a disgusting penis,” said Carlson, of Bushwick, Brooklyn. The message was titled “Straw” and was sent by an anonymous stranger.

The appropriate action there is to screenshot the request. There is no paper trail after the fact to know how you acquired the picture that is now in your camera roll.

@aaronstuder
Perhaps not, was basing on screenshots posted by @JaredBusch . Which I suppose is possibly showing a different process than was discussed in article.

There is no different process. If you send a picture, that is how it works.

But they send a note, not a picture....

I kind of didn't think so but I've not made much use of AirDrop so giving @aaronstuder the benefit of the doubt as he was questioning it.

If you share a note, it does auto open the note after you accept.
But this is still 100% on the dumb user that click accept to a random message on the subway.

LOL - well your persistence paid off. It was a note, and notes don't have previews... So yeah.. stupid user, but yes - sender is still piece of shit.

The sender being a piece of shit or not is not relevant.
The stupid fucking user is at fault for accepting something from a stranger.
FFS. Even my 7yo knows "Dont' talk to strangers"

And don't advertise that you are interesting in talking to strangers. This is more than accepting an anonymous note. She had to enable getting anonymous notes first.
