Yeah I don't know why Apple would thinks its a great feature to automatically determine for us whom it thinks we want to share personal information with.

They also aren't automatically determining who you want to share information with, they are making guesses based upon who you've shared information or messages with in the past - a perfectly reasonable assumption.

A number of versions of iOS ago, there were icons above the search box on the search screen of people the system thought you might want to contact based on frequency, time and location. I loved it.

I really like it, too.

After reading this thread I noticed that most people dislike this feature. Only this and other person here “really like it to”. I also noticed that Apple deleted posts of people who disliked it. Now I don’t really know how useful Apple forums are, 2 people constantly posting same stuff but no solution.

It is believed there are over a billion active Apple accounts, so neither of these "numbers" reflect reality. This community represents a small portion of either camp.

Apple hosts remove posts that do not follow the terms of the community. It's more how you voice your dislike over that you voice your dislike that gets your post removed. Disagreement is fine as long as it meets community standards.

Now I don’t really know how useful Apple forums are, 2 people constantly posting same stuff but no solution.

This "forum" is a place to ask and have answered technical sup[port questions. Apple does not necessarily provide "solutions" here. If we volunteers here do not know the answer to a posed question, it may not get answered.

This would explain why emerging issues don't always get resolved here.

Most of us have posted to the Feedback. There is no problem with us posting here as well as it gives an idea of the community of people who do not like the feature of Apple automatically choosing who to share our stuff with for us.

You're certainly entitled to waste your time in any way you see fit. It's one of the best things about being a grown up. Personally, I don't see what good it does, other than misery loves company, to know that other people agree with your dislike of this feature. But, you do you.

I was, however, responding to a specific post who was complaining about the fact that they weren't getting a solution here. That poster seemed to object to the fact that people were posting saying they liked the feature as well.

From what I can see here 3 people here score points by distribution of philosophical nonsense. It has nothing to do with the subject other than trolling.

This is a good thread as (1) it's good to understand how important this is to other people, which we cannot see just by logging into the feedback black hole. We've all logged into the feedback already. And (2) someone may come up with a work-around. So there is value to this thread to be able to communicate a fix out should someone find one.

The thing I don't understand is why people who have no interest in this topic, come on this thread to knock people who are posting on here? Why not ignore it if you don't care about this topic?

The only way to get points on this forum is for the original poster of the thread to award them.

Explaining to you that you will not get a solution that you want here is not philosophical nonsense. It's a simple statement of fact.

I'm still curious as to how that helps you.

The fact that I disagree with you doesn't mean I have no interest in the topic. Quite the contrary.

this issue is indeed very annoying and it is very frustrating that apple still ignores it.

If you are concluding they are "ignoring it" because Apple has not spoken here, that's why we volunteers here continue to point that out to the endless "me-too" posters. This community is not where Apple addresses issues such as this.

They may also be ignoring it because they do not feel there is anything to fix, resolve, change and so on.

Again, they will not come here and state that.

By making it easy to inadvertently send private information to an undesired contact. Mom, Dad, and your boss are one accidental touch away from seeing the saucy link you were sending your lover. It's a big problem.

Actually, no it’s not.

For all Apple apps, a tap puts you into compose mode for a text message or email.

While that is not true for some third party apps, you are still responsible for what you are doing.

Don’t blame the technology for doing exactly what you told it to.

Accidentally shared adult fornication content with my mom. Multiple steps is nothing on a touchscreen.

Edit: Does our level go up the more we aggravate people and derail threads? Seems counterproductive. 🤔

Nope.

You are awarded points for being seen as helpful by either Apple or a fellow participant.

Since you exist, your mom is probably aware of what adults do (generally) in private. She's also probably seen you without your clothes on. And, it could have been worse. Your mom could have shared it with you.
