AirDrop to 'all nearby'

[CC]

Ok so basically i'm lazy and all about making life easier for myself right? I'm sure others would agree and would appreciate if there was an option when trying to AirDrop stuff that you could AirDrop to 'all nearby' and well... AirDrop whatever it is to everyone nearby. This would be an area of say a 3 metre radius from yourself and everyone in that area would get it. 

Pros: Everyone would appreciate it i'm sure as they wouldn't have to share the same photo multiple times. 
Cons: Some people would possibly get an unwanted image or something if standing too close? However if you'd want it to only say a particular group that you could move away from others and that's seen as a minor inconvenience?

Apologies if this has been suggested before. I couldn't see it anywhere nor heard of anyone suggesting so yeah

Thanks!

Just a thought also, this could be applied to sharing keys maybe? however i wouldn't say this is necessary

Could come with a 'block group drop' in the options same as the anon calls has.

I was thinking about making a suggestion for this, but then found one already existed from over a year ago! I've had multiple situations recently where I have an image to share, or phone number, and you have to go through and clip the same sequence of buttons 3 or 4 times, one button and then maybe a confirm next to a list of the nearby devices would be perfect and be a massive QOL improvement. +1

+100 - also like joe said a long time ago make a feature in settings to "disable group airdrop"
Just pros in my opinion

only con is takes some good coding which is effort!!
