Security check The first step in the privacy settings > security check prompts a “Unable to gather sharing information”. The text behind said prompt says I’m not sharing information with anyone however that prompt is suggesting that this check isn’t working properly. 100% consist error 16.0.2 iPhone. This feature was previously working and has stopped, searches online have not led to any discussion or solutions regarding this issue. Why?

Trust this computer message pops up when I’m not connected to any computer recently my iPhone developed a new problem where the message “trust this computer Enter passcode to trust this computer and start a backup” spams my phone, even though I am not connected to any computer. It becomes very annoying. I have already had to hit the cancel button like 30 times while typing this. Any ideas on how to stop it? Thanks. I attached a screenshot of it.

If you have a VPN app installed on your iPhone, try disabling it temporarily before erasing your device.
