Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to enable the automatic establishment of a secure audio/video data streaming connection between electronic devices. For example, a first electronic device may enter into a first state of a peer device advertising protocol, and then, based on a determination that the first electronic device meets a first set of device state criteria (e.g., including at least an orientation state criterion), the first electronic device may enter into a second (e.g., enhanced) state of the peer device advertising protocol. In response to detecting a presence of a second electronic device in its proximity, the first electronic device may connect to the second electronic device via a secure peer-to-peer connection protocol and then send one or more images captured by a first image capture device of the first electronic device to the connected second electronic device via the secure wireless peer-to-peer connection protocol.
