Apple's iOS 17.2 Update to Introduce NameDrop-Like Pass Sharing

The new feature allows users to share passes from the Wallet app by bringing two iPhones close together, providing a quicker and more convenient method of sharing.

Apple's upcoming iOS 17.2 update will introduce a new feature that allows users to share passes, such as boarding passes and movie tickets, from the Wallet app by bringing two iPhones close to each other.
The new feature is similar to Apple's NameDrop contact-sharing tool introduced with the first release of iOS 17.
Users can already share passes from within the Wallet app through traditional methods like Messages or AirDrop. The new feature provides a quicker and more convenient method.
The iOS 17.2 update, which is expected to be released next week, also includes other features like the Journal app, Qi2 wireless charging support for iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, and enhancements to Siri.
Despite concerns about security, the process is secure and requires the user to initiate the sharing process.
