Another reason iOS sucks.

When I edit a post, it wants to enter my phone number or home (United States, for crying out loud) in the reason field.

If you're wondering why "Apple Intelligence" is on hold for brain surgery, maybe it's because they can't get simple things right, let alone complex things.

I think that the major problem with A1 (sic) is that people are trying to get it to win the Boston Marathon before it can walk without falling down.

And have a great day!

But I kind of don't think it's iOs unless something in settings is mixed up. I've never seen it in my life. Good luck on figuring it out!

Maybe it’s your settings/preferences?

especially the integration between the phone and my desktop. It would be a pain in the ass to manually type in every password I have after clearing cookies.
