I bought a password keeper a decade ago and lost it, along with 300 business and personal account passwords, last fall because of an Apple auto IOS update. The app maker stopped maintaining the app and didn’t take customer names in the early days of selling it. I was physically ill for 2 days over the loss of so much information and I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that. It was a fantastic app until the company stopped maintaining it so Apple deleted it. I didn’t know that could happen. Worst $5 I ever spent.

Oh my. That is bad. My paranoia on auto updates seems to be warranted. have had no problems with iPhone operations while ignoring all notifications for updates. I figure if they sold me a phone that needs constant updates, must be a pretty crummy product. It’s barely a year old. Why 5 updates in that time period.... it’s unnecessary and I suspect malicious stuff may be installed. I have heard they can just install stuff anyway, but not sure if that is possible.

The old rotary dial phones are seeming appealing...simpler times.

That’s horrible! I would be sick, too. My last phone did something wonky a few years ago and all my contacts, all my business contacts went to Unknown Contact and no phone numbers.

My business was small.. 200 customers, but repeat. I was a dog groomer. Thankfully I always wrote names on cards and used a paper calendar. I knew groomers who had lost everything on their phones, including calendars.

But it does make you sick.
