I am pretty sure, I wasn’t imagining… when I placed my new iPhone next to my old iPhone (not for any particular reason) on the old phone’s screen a wave like effect went from top to bottom and then disappeared. Never to do that again. I tried searching for it, but didn’t find anything like this.
was it like connectivity thing? Please tell me I’m not losing it 🫠
iPhone SE
This a feature that is enabled in your iPhone Settings>General>AirDrop>(Turn Off - Bringing Devices Together) this will stop this auto sharing option and you can enable the same as you need. At times this is a annoying option, has to be disabled as per user preference.

Hello bernadett99,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
If you have iOS 17, AirDrop is initiated when bringing phones together. That may be what you are seeing:
"How to use AirDrop
. If you share a photo from the Photos app, you can swipe left or right and select multiple photos.
If you see a red numbered badge on the AirDrop button, there are multiple devices nearby that you can share with. Tap the AirDrop button, then tap the user that you want to share with. Learn what to do if you don't see the AirDrop user or your other device.If you're near someone in your Contacts, you can share by opening the content that you want to share, then bringing your devices together."
Additional details can be found here: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad
If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Also, which iOS versions do you currently have installed?
Cheers!
That’s how contact cards and airdrop function.
Mine did a wave across my 14 pro also and my Apple ultra watch showed two picture of the watch coming together and going apart. The phone and watch were 4 inches apart. The demonstration was looking like it wanted me to do something. I couldn’t figure this out as I was driving. This happened twice in three weeks.
Why is my iPhone making a wave when placed next to another iPhone? It only does this when it is on the Lock Screen. Is it sharing battery?
I got the wave when I went into YouTube TV and the movie repeated a scene. This happened several times. This morning there is a weird blur on my photo when I pinch up the screen to zoom in. I tried powering off then back on.
Is this a new thing the wave started when my wife’s phone was close she has a 12 and my phone is a 14
