    This applies to MacOS 26.

    On iOS 27, it looks like changing the settings for eight different apps taking 5 or 6 steps each.

      Select the version from the pulldown menu at the top left of the screen.

        I only saw 26 and 15 in the pulldown. Might be due to my {REDACTED} version of macOS.

        This comment is exactly what &quot;helpful&quot; solutions in apple discussions are like.

        There isn&#x27;t iOS in the menu at all but it&#x27;ll say confidently like it is and you&#x27;ll be triple checking yourself for 5 min like a complete idiot
