iPad -Companion Link & Open Ports

Hi


While checking my network for open ports, I realised that iPad is using the Bonjour service for “companion-link_TCP” over port 49153. I don’t use any companion app or don’t sync/back up my iPad over WiFi.


I couldn’t find a decent answer on the use of this port within the previous discussions hence would really appreciate if someone can help.


thanks

iPad Pro, 14
