Text message to turn off phone

If it was an authentic message there would be an official signing by the Company. Apple is proud to provide solutions but not that cheap as not to push the message to your phone or even prompt you in the settings homepage.

The unknown is your biggest clue ignore and delete. Apple does not update software via text or social media only via the device and the different ways to access internet recovery or for your iPhone, MacBook or apple devices the trusted and secure way is software update in Settings.

Yes what I do when I’m in a public place and I feel someone is trying to intrude in my phone I turn airplane mode on and off rapidly fast it’s enough to spook them. People hate wasted time So instead of turning it off just go ahead and turn airplane mode on fast enough it’s a dropped connection… free to continue living your life Best Regards,
