So T-Mobile users should instead:

1. Open the T-Life app
2. Tap Manage
3. Then tap the Settings gear icon
4. Choose Preferences
5. Turn off the screen recording tool

Read on AppleInsider

I followed the directions, and on my iPhone (latest iOS) you can't "4.  Choose Preferences" - it's just a header under which one can choose Notifications, update Location access, and update Contact access.  Is this a new feature that hasn't made it to all iPhones yet?  I have my settings set to auto-update apps, so...

Same here. I don’t see this setting. Could it be one that’s already been pulled? 

Me too. It shows v10.8.0 updated 3w ago, and I have no ability to do what the article suggests in that version. Perhaps the version number of the "recently rolled out version" that does this can be added please?

Far out. I’ll always struggle to understand how north Americans voted this psychopath into the White House, twice.

Because most Americans are uneducated and not very smart. We have some of the best and some of the worst people in the world. We are the stupid melting pot of the world. However, even the craziest MAGA will revolt when they can't afford cigarettes and beer. They will revolt when those lottery tickets won't get them out of this debt and mess they are in...

Concur. But even then, these neurodivergent helpless non-functional individuals will be told, and they will repeat, that the reason they can't afford cigs and beer is because obama and biden and wokeness and <insert racist dog whistle trope here>. Since they are non-functional, they will do what makes them feel the best, and that is to vote with the morons around them that concur that it is *someone else's fault* . And...it is easy to see who that someone is, because they don't look like them. Oh, and that someone speaks in complete sentences = elitist = bad = their fault. 70+ million people in the US voted to board the Titanic a second time.

I may end up driving to Canada from Wisconsin to buy my next iPhone. No way am I going to pay the Trump Tax.

And commit a felony in doing so. Nice. 

For those contemplating doing this, the issue is that US customs specifically requires purchases made outside the US to be declared on entry, as doing so in acting as an importer of goods. Lying, or failing to do is a crime. About now many are laughing at how they will find out..."I will pay by cash." Sure. Many will in fact get away with it. Still others will say "even if I get caught, I will need only pay the tariff and fine." Also likely true. However, it *is* a crime, and the US is now deporting people without due process. How will they find you? It's a transmitter, has a unique number that can be used to see where Apple sold it (Apple has records of which serial numbers went to where, and these can be obtained by the USCS.) People doing this take a big, big chance with draconian consequences if it goes wrong.

And....maybe not announce you are doing it on social media.

Think "AfAId" movie. 

They will sell devices that always monitor what you're doing and observe your behaviors and start interacting with you to encourage you to do things. 

You don't need to wear anything. Devices are always watching you. TV turns on automatically. Lights turn on automatically. 

Foods get prepared with their "cooking" devices. 

Cars come to you and take you around. 

They function as watch dogs and alert you of any intruders. 

They will interact with you if you appear bored or lonely. 

I'm all AI'ed and voice assistantsed out. When Apple said the iPhone 16 was "built for AI" I took that as a warning, not a feature. I just want an off switch, m'kay?

My opinion only. YMMV. If you enjoy this stuff, great. I'm happy for you.
