iPhone 12Pro, iOS 14.7.1...
Couple of days ego, I've started to get popup notification about accepting the new iCloud Terms and Conditions. Since I don't really use iCloud, so I believed, it did not seem important to accept it right away.
The notification popped up on locked screen:
As well as on the unlocked screen:
I did click on the "View Terms" and asked for emailing the link to the document. After scanning through the documents on 09.21.21, hard to read legal stuff, the date on the document was September 20, 2021.
Since there had been no new update applied to the 12Pro, I didn't see a reason to rush accepting it yet. Well, Apple evidently didn't think so. Yesterday, as of 09.23.21, I tried to see where my granddaughter's iPhone is, so, opened the "Find my Friends" app. Normally, I'd see number of friends' iPhone locations. Instead, the screen asked if I'd would want to share my location, no list of friends. I didn't answer, just closed the app.
On a hunch, just went to setting and and accepted the new iCloud Terms and Conditions. Back to "Find my Friends" app and voila, all of my friends showed up in the app. I could rumble about how can Apple disabled service(s) without notification, but there's no use. While I consider my iPhone as mine, the reality is that it is not. Apple has full remote control of my iPhone, my control level is just standard user with limited access to the system and its files.
Couple of things...
Currently, my iCloud storage is "761 KB of 5 GB Used", but it doesn't really matter since the "Find my Friends" is a service and not personal storage. That's OK, but disabling this service in a short time frame is not. Basically, Apple waited two days to accept the new terms and conditions and started to disable services. There might have been other services disabled, but didn't check for them.
What's interesting is that my wife 12Mini also has iOS 14.7.1 and she did not receive any notification as of yet, current date is 09.24.21. Her iPhone also shows the iOS 14.7.8 update available, like mine does. Albeit, mine also shows the iOS 15.0 as optional update and hers does not.
Is there a reason for forcing acceptance to the new terms and conditions on one iPhone, but not on the other?
