   You ever notice how Apple never really lets the user say "no" to their nudges?

   It's always "maybe later" and never "no seriously, I don't want this, go away"

      I have this one notification asking me if I want to enable the Personal focus when I’m at home. I don’t want my iPhone to care if I’m at home or not, so the past two years whenever it pops up I click Later.

      It will probably never stop asking.

         It will. Once you accidentally mis-click once and then suddeny there is no way to back out of it.

            I think this should be called the ratchet theory of consent because it only tightens.

               I beat you to it by a couple of years :)

                  Haha! Great minds think alike. (Although they do also say that fools seldom differ...)

                     I&#x27;ve got bad news for you then :)
