Does anyone actually think that texting, spellcheck, or writing an email are easier in iOS 13+?

Absolutely! The changes in the way one edits text were long overdue and are absolutely awesome. Sure, I could manage the old way but I never actually liked it. Now, I press an hold the space bar and I can easily place the insertion point. Just goes to show Apple does (sometimes) pay attention to feedback!

Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud that means advertising a particular product that one doesn't actually have then offering a different product (either inferior or more expensive). Apple didn't do that. Apple offered a service. They provided exactly the service the offered. And, that service included a statement something to this effect, "At any time Apple may change, add, or remove any part of this Agreement ". And, that's what they did. Ask any lawyer. Apple didn't commit fraud.

Your phone does not have to be on for someone to break into your AppleID. You don’t even need to own a single Apple device to have your AppleID compromised. An AppleID has nothing to do with the particular Apple devices you may or may not own, or may or may not have powered on at any given time.

Then contact Apple's account security team-->Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Why don't you just add your Samsung phone number to your Trusted Numbers List? Maybe add a few others - your Mom's landline, your trusted friend's Android, your sibling's iPhone.

Just a thought....

I’m having same issues I don’t have a new device to sign into so it’s been totally impossible to get the 2 to complete the auth

I figured out how to fix this. I went to the Verizon store and got a new phone. Not an iPhone. Suddenly all these frustrations are fixed!

Why doesn't this work for me? I entered my land line and it never rings. I went through the process with an Apple support person, so yeah, did all the steps correctly.

It really is dumb policy. And in spite of what either people are saying, it's NOT your fault. I finally did the obvious solution and couldn't be happier.

I need to turn it off so I can use mymobilwatchdog.com to register my daughter phone number too. Please advise how to do it.

Please provide instructions.

It really isn't accomodating as it means always having the phone or trusted device to hand. I don't want to be tethered to sitting with two devices at all times.

it doesnt work it keeps going back to on how can i fix it
