iPhone Bonjour Services - unknown new service Both my iPhone XR & iPad started using a new Bonjour service that they never used before. Service Name: _rdlink._tcp. Port(same for both): 49153 On top of that iPad is using another service called _companion-link._tcp and using 49154 as the port. Was not sure why both would be activated Both devices have been freezing/slowing down for a while hence I was afraid if there might be a security concern. i would appreciate if someone can help.
