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.

Well after my password app disaster, I turned off auto-updates too. I can tell you that at least 3 of the 5 updates in the last year have to do with covid tracking. Good that we both have it off. Now, half the world will turn it off too.

How horrible, Little Linda!

Or the old Rolex. Or the old address book. I have a large address book where I keep passwords. The name of the website, forum, whatever is put in alphabetically then I note the username, e-mail addy, and password. Been doing this since the beginning of being on the internet, the mid-90s, writing with pen/pencil in a notebook of some kind. Finally got the address book about twelve years ago. It's big, but small enough to fit into my purse if needed to take with me. I always figured if a computer can be hacked or crashes, there goes the info.
