iOS added the [Local Network](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3179-understanding-local-network-privacy) permission in iOS 14, preventing apps from accessing other devices on your local network such as other phones or computers, maybe even network drives with sensitive data on them. Android later [added this permission](https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/local-network-permission) in Android 16, albeit currently as opt-in for developers.
