Security check

While doing a security check my iPhone says it's "unable to gather sharing information."

My phone is up-to-date and I've tried at least a dozen times.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Hello HelpTecchallenged,


If the Safety Check function is not working, first make sure the device is running the current version of software. You can check for available updates in Settings > General > Software Update.


Stop sharing with people and apps with Safety Check on iPhone


You'll also want to make sure you have all the apps that Safety Check needs to review for sharing installed on the device. The apps it needs to review for sharing information are Health, Home, Calendar, Find My, Notes, and Photos. If you have removed any of these apps from the device, reinstall them from the App Store then try running the check again.
