Unfortunately, the only way to get that message off is to do what it says or factory reset the phone.

Why? Because Duck you, thats why ~apple probably

Op mine doesn’t have that but has no SIM

Me too

I use iMazing, which now requires the passcode. A significant pain since I keep my iPadMini by my bed at the other end of my house! The net effect of this requirement is that I've turned off automatic back-ups and now only back-up manually and much less frequently!

There should be an option to limit access to the devices to the same LAN as the backup computer or perhaps the specific IP address of that computer.

They posted links showing something that is a know bug when restoring or downloading messages from iCloud. You post a support thread from years ago, that POINT out in the comments it’s a bug, your own “proof” disagrees with you.

You are the one acting childish and trolling.

Your links truly are incorrect because multiple people in this thread posted photos from recently and years ago proving you and your childish articles WRONG. It is a feature and always will be :) I’ll explain how it works if you’d like to learn and close your trap!

Its not tho.

These are all within the last 3-6 months. They all prove you wrong, with the last one being from Tim Cook himself.

Go away troll.

I’ve used apple through so many iterations and followed every feature addition, this was added in iOS 12. Research it yourself I’m not gonna waste my time to prove it to you when I already know the truth and have been living with that as a feature for years now😭😂

The thread your commenting on has a photo proving you wrong that it’s a feature LMAOOO

Post the link please?? As not 2 months ago when Tim Cook was ask if this was ever gonna be supported, his response was to “Go buy an iPhone”

It did happen, they added that functionality in iOS 12 lmao your not very up to date are you? Spreading mis information all over this thread

No problem 😁

Thanks for the hint. It’s a 7 so that’s why it’s rectangle. I’ve had iPhones since the 3GS but it’s hard to remember every change in the UI over the years.

No, rounded corners for non home button iPhone and rectangle for home button iPhone

No, rounded corners for non home button iPhone and rectangle for home button iPhone

Yeah mine is transparent and a rounded edge rectangle too. I wonder if it’s because it’s an old model and the new iOS just glitched it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yea, there’s a lack of info. I was also thinking jailbreak in the back of my mind. If the phone was reset and set up as new the dock would be filled with some standard apps.

Yeah that’s why I said somehow. Literally don’t know what going on so just spitballing. Not sure if it’s jail broken or anything, got no info

That’s not true, if you google it it’s a feature apple added support for reading android texts LMAO u gotta do your research buddy

Have you tried a hard reset? Hold the lower volume and the standby button until the Apple logo appears. See what happens.

What does up to date mean? iOS 15? It already had rounded corners on the dock (I know, you can’t put apps there..). But this isn’t 15, is it? I think 14 had the rectangle dock. What does it say in settings/general/info?

iPhone 7 if “up to date” as OP states supports up to iOS 15.
