Hi there
i just received an airdrop image (naughts and crosses) whilst at a train station even though my ‘receive’ setting was off
stupidly I mistakenly pressed accept and now I’m worried my phone has been hacked - any advice greatly appreciated

If the footer here is correct, consider an update to iOS 17.4.1, which has the most current security and fixes, and which has reworked and updated AirDrop support.
AirDrop also reverts from “everyone” to “contacts only” after ten minutes in iOS 16.2 and later, so that AirDrop was quite probably from a contact of yours. (Or you’re on a very old iOS 16 version, or older.)
Here is: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Here is how to: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
And what to do: If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support
As long as you haven't jailbroken your iPhone, you've nothing to worry about. Delete the image.
Ok great
thank you so muxh
Can my iPhone be hacked through AirDrop?
