📡 Disable Wireless Features
Bluetooth • AirDrop • AirPlay Receiver
Turn off wireless features you don't actively use. This reduces nearby attack surface and passive discovery — especially on public Wi‑Fi, while traveling, or under targeted surveillance.
💡 Quick Goal
Disable what you don't use. If you rely on AirDrop or Bluetooth accessories daily, you can keep them on — but set safer defaults (like AirDrop = "No One" when not in use).
Step 1: Find Bluetooth in System Settings
1 Open System Settings and search for Bluetooth
Step 2: Turn Bluetooth Off
2 Toggle Bluetooth to Off
Step 3: Find AirDrop & Handoff / AirPlay Receiver
3 In System Settings, search for AirPlay (or AirDrop) and open AirDrop & Handoff
Step 4: Lock Down AirDrop & AirPlay Receiver
4 Set these safer defaults:
- AirDrop: set to No One when not actively using it
- AirPlay Receiver: turn Off if you don't need it
✅ You're Done
Your Mac is now less discoverable and has fewer wireless entry points exposed by default.
