iPhone is non-stop asking to "trust this computer"

Although it runs iOS 12.2 I generally, 99% of the time never get the "trust this computer" pop up.

Xs Max , iOS 12.2, connects fine with my PC.

But, recently, it's repeatedly, non stop asking to "trust this computer" .

I ALWAYS connect it with the same cable to the same PC, shouldn't it only ask me this once and then it's have a nice day ?

Is it because of security, do I have to suffer like this because of the criminals and other law breakers out there?

Hi there Doodaniel,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are having to select to trust this computer each time you connect the computer and iPhone. Usually if you choose to trust this computer the iPhone will remember that and will not ask again. If you ever accidentally selected not to trust the computer at any point the iPhone will ask you each time to trust that computer. If you connect the iPhone to a different computer and trust that other computer your iPhone will ask again next time it is connected. You can reset your trusted computers if you go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy.

We hope this helps!
