My partner isn’t particularly tech-savvy when it comes to her iPhone, so I often help her set it up to connect via USB in her car. Recently, I observed something quite intriguing. Last night, as she prepared to head to her yoga class, she got into the car without any navigation system set up.
To my surprise, her iPhone spontaneously announced, “22 minutes to the yoga den.”
This isn’t just a one-off occurrence; it seems to happen regularly. For instance, every Friday she goes grocery shopping, and just like before, her phone will chime in with, “7 minutes to Aldi,” after which she completes her shopping and hops back into the car. Once she finishes there, it also announces, “5 minutes to Tesco.”
It’s astonishing how her iPhone seems to have learned her weekly routines, recognizing her frequent destinations and travel times.
It feels almost like magic or witchcraft, the way technology can predict her habits so accurately. Now, I’m left wondering how to turn off this feature. It seems to be part of some artificial intelligence built into the phone.
I appreciate the convenience of having navigation so readily available, but the level of insight it has into her schedule feels a bit intrusive. If anyone knows how to disable these automatic updates and predictions, I would really appreciate some guidance.
