I’m surprised I don’t see anything about this on here, but something strange just happened when I restarted my phone. My keyboard is a POS and acts up all the time. And tonight it was so frustrating I figured I would do a restart. Once I did, apparently 26.4.2 had been updated but it almost looked like I was setting up my phone for the first time, with the Hello screen displaying and asking to select a WiFi network.

Shortly after, it popped up with “Activation Lock” and made me enter my credentials. That worked fine, though at first iMessage said it was signed out and a few apps think I have a new phone. Any idea what that’s all about??? I also received an email from FindMy letting me know that Activation Lock was requesting my credentials. I’ve been using this phone (17 Pro Max) since release day.
