Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
A user reports that the Headspace app has been silently installing itself on their iPhone 13 Pro daily for 3 days around 1pm EST, despite automatic downloads being turned off and iOS being updated. Other users on Reddit have reported similar issues across different iPhone models (12 and 17), suggesting this may be a wider bug or issue rather than a device-specific problem.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledEvery day for the past 3 days around 1pm EST the 'Headspace' app has been silently appearing on my iPhone (13 Pro).
Automatic downloads are turned off and I've updated to the latest iOS since this started happening.
I googled around and found a couple reddit threads with people reporting the exact same thing starting 2 or 3 days ago.
There were reports from people on iPhone 12 and iPhone 17 so it doesn't seem device-specific.
