iPhone Updated To 16.3.1 Without My Permission Last night 02/20/2023 my iPhone updated the iOS without my permission. In settings, I had "Download iOS Updates" toggled on, "install iOS Updates" toggled off, and "Security Responses & System Files" toggled on. This morning my phone had a message on the Home Screen that indicated my phone had been updated overnight. So my response was to go into the updates section and toggle everything off. I want to decide when the updates will happen and not allow Apple to pretend to believe they have the permission to decide for me. I'm not a fan of this decision by Apple. I always wait a while and check for responses to the updates to see whether the newest update breaks the phone. I didn't have this opportunity since Apple made the decision for me. Oh well, rant over.

Phone updating without my permission My phone updated to ios 16.2 without my permission. Automatic updates is set to OFF and I did not connect it to any other device, and I did not accidentally agree to this update. Auto updates is still set to OFF! What is going on?
