Security Pros Urge Turning Off Auto AirPlay on iPhone to Cut Risk

Cybersecurity experts say leaving iPhone's Automatically Airplay setting enabled can create risk by allowing automatic nearby connections, though it does not automatically grant access to all data. They advise turning off unused connectivity or setting AirPlay to 'Ask' (instead of 'Automatic'), and to be mindful of connectivity settings after iOS updates, which can reset defaults to less secure options.
