Thanks for responding. Understand about the security concerns; this could save much, especially for our elderly community members with a trusted family member (me) trying to provide support. Maybe one day... a feature add (again, I know, it would probably be exploited so... wishful thinking). I think her device is set to backup to the cloud... if so, just inconvenient... if not... oh boy...🤦🏽♂️
