Approval request sent

Hey, I get constantly this "Approval request sent" pop up on my iPhone, even though I am not using it, not requesting any approvals anywhere.

Below the subject it says "To continue using iCloud on this iPhone, authorize it on another device that uses iCloud or enter your iCloud security code."

Why does this happen? Only device on my AppleID is my iPhone 13 Pro.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Constant repetition of "Approve iPad - This iPad wants to use your iCloud account" notification I keep getting this notification, sometimes multiple times, at the top right of my screen. This happens at least 20-30 times per day. As soon as I "approve" the iPad, the alert message appears again. I have ensured both my MacBook Air (M2) and iPad 5th Gen are up to date, signed in and out with my Apple ID, and turned off both devices several times in varying orders. This is incredibly frustrating; please can you advise how to stop this.

Continuous approval request for iCloud account on macbook air I get an approval request to use my icloud account on my iPhone and my tablet appearing on my macbook air. I hit approve but it pops up again and again and again. (this is Hungarian, the message translates: "Approve the following: This iphone wants to use your icloud account") I tried to log out and back in to my account on my macbook but doesn't happen. I don't touch my iphone and ipad and don't see any message or anything on that. What should I do? My macbook is unsable this way now... Thanks!!

MacBook keeps asking me to approve iPhone for iCloud Hello! I have MacBook AIR and iPhone 13 Pro for over a year. In the last week my Mac incessantly asks me with a notification in the upper right to "Approve Anat's iPhone"? This iPhone wants to use your iCloud account." I've tried everything including logging out and in of iCloud on the iPhone in the settings and in browsers. It keeps happening. It's really annoying! How can I make it stop? for example: thanks!!!

Sounds like a scam. Do not enter your code! Turn your iPhone off completely (Settings > General >Shut Down) … wait several minutes then turn it back on again.
