Never seen these tactics before. I don’t have automatic downloads on and it unsolicited pushed a notification to my phone to update to the new version. I click skip for now. And here is where it got weird. It went to another screen asking me to enter my passcode so that it can automatically update tonight even though I have it off. It appears as if that is the only option for people to access their phone but in very small font, you are able to again skip for later. I have never seen these tactics used before. It seems fishy so wanted to alert people.

There hasn’t been an EBS so how do you know it blocked EBS?

When you do the update it turns off the ebs in your settings without telling you it happened

Soooo the update doesn’t do anything then? You can just turn it back on? Seems like Irving to get worked up over. Basically just tell people to do as they please and to double check their EBS settings ...
