Drains my battery

Every now and then it kills my battery which I notice by my phone being warm.

Annoying not being able to ignore AI related iOS updates

Getting extremely annoyed at alerts to update to an ‘optional’ iOS update. At most you would expect ability to select ‘ignore this advisory’ or ability to define ‘optional updates’. It is OK not to want optional updates. Please recognise your customers right to decide & enable ability to not only delay but also IGNORE updates. Security is still available on other update options.

HELP

Help Me please..The VPN feature, which was disconnected last year, still appears in the interface of my Microsoft Defender account app, despite no longer being functional. To resolve this, I had to completely delete the app from my device.
