Have you ever connected to their Wi-Fi in the past? If you have your phone may briefly connect and they’re logging it, knowing you’ve been in the area.

Try turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when you go by this area in the event that’s being used.

Try disabling all of your location services and see if you receive the message.

It would be useful to know the context of the area you’re going to. Is it rural, urban etc

Do you go past their house on foot or in a car.

If you feel like you’re the victim of stalking though contact the local police.

There’s a bug in iOS that lets you bypass screentime restrictions to reset the appleid password. It’s been posted about in some recent threads here.

Better advice is to use a long alphanumeric passcode instead of a short 6 digit pin, and be very careful nobody watches while you’re entering it.

I’m not sharing my location at all and I’m not part of a family group. I don’t understand how they could receive notifications though if my locations sharing is turned off. Is it possible for someone to still track me even though I’ve disabled sharing my location? I don’t have any tracking devices on my car either. I’ve driven a friends car and even a rental at one point t and it was happening so I’m inclined to think it’s not a tracking device. If it is it’s well hidden and I’ll find it and press charges but I don’t believe there’s a tracking device.

Dynamic island will be here at LEAST another 2-3 years if I had to guess. Apples waiting to put as many if not all the sensors on the front of the phone including the camera under the screen. It really comes down to when, as the tech needs to be perfect where camera performance isn’t compromised and you can’t see the sensors during use.

Yup. Works great. As of the iPhone 14, the US models are eSIM-only though.

Some years there are also differences in frequency bands the radios can operate on. It often depends on the year, but if they can’t design an antenna/radio system that supports every frequency in common use, they’ll offer phones with antenna/radio systems best suited to specific markets.

Even when your device can’t use every local frequency band though, it almost always still works well generally. My 13 Pro Max gets LTE or 5G almost everywhere here. Does it support every frequency that Portuguese carriers use? That I don’t know.

As far as i know the grid electric companies use...is one,that all share.So distinguishing where the electricities comes from,for each individual power provider is basically impossible.

Apple won’t go back to the notch so the only thing I can see them doing would be something different if they can do something under the display or if they sensors can get so small they would be imperceptible in the bezel.

Yes but if you read my post again I state that I was having problems with my phone before the anger incident. I threw my phone because it froze for an hour. The freezing, malfunctioning & glitching happened way before I threw it. It’s really hard to keep storage low on my phone, I have a 64gb so every month I’m sorting through my photos mainly which is stressful but at the time of my purchase, the bigger storage you opt for, the more you pay and i couldn’t afford it.

If you're part of a family group and this person is part of said family group, you could be sharing your location that way.

Settings > Family > Location Sharing > and turn off any location sharing you may be doing.

It's possible that this person may have Notifications turned on for Find My when you or someone else enters their area.
