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.
