I’ve never had this problem until I updated to the last 2 15.?.? updates. So, you didn’t miss anything. I’ve never turned the ‘Private Address(es) off either. The last update was to fix some kind of privacy issue from the prior update. What is happening with Verizon? Yesterday I could call and message anyone but my husband. (No, he didn’t block me.)

By "privacy warning" are you referring to the Wi-Fi privacy warning? If so, that warning would indicate that the wireless network that your iPhone is connected to can "see" its MAC address.


To remove the warning, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Tap the "i" icon next to the network > Enable Private Address. Then reconnect to that wireless network.
