I drive a 2025 Kia Ceed and the all the infotainment does is get in my way. Id pay to have it removed. Carplay & Siri helps me stay focused on driving in a safe way.

Youre not alone with the problem: if device lost -> difficult to reach family

No matter what solution you choose you will need to remember something. I have two family members who always answer, so their phone numbers are the only two I know. By dialing them manually now and then I make sure my memory is working.

In the age of AI/voice generators I’ve also told them how I will identify myself. So if being mugged in Kiwiland, and they get a call where I ask them to transfer money they can do so knowing it would only be me making that request as I told them the secret phrase: ”yes, it was me who tipped over the Christmas tree”. Ofcourse not that, but something none of the inner family will ever forget.

Lightshot, if youre using it you should remove it and then google why.

Apple obeys the law. Policians set the law. You vote for politicians.

So nu, it makes no sense to blame Apple here.

Im interested to see if you encounter the same with a different phone. Most probably a software issue, but are we sure it isnt something defective with your phone?

The sadest part is that we the consumers pay for having things constantly popping up infront of our eyes. There should be a ”NoAds”-label on products that have chosen to not levy the ad-tax on us consumers.
