When I update IOS, some of the settings in the settings app reset to their defaults. For example, I turned off all apple analytics and ads improvements and this kind of stuff but after update they are reverted back to default. Is that legal?
Got a tip for us?

It's bloody annoying, isn't it.
I've got into the habit of going through my settings after an update just to make sure things haven't been turned back on. I remember once iCloud photos was turned on without my consent after an update.
I've only had that happen a few times when updating.. It's annoying but definitely shouldn't be happening every time you're installing an update

Welcome to the world of OS upgrades in general. Overall, this is not uncommon although it is less common on iphone. Sometimes when things are upgraded, configuration is reverted either intentionally as part of the upgrade, or in error(a bug during the actual upgrade process).
Game Center (sic) is always switched back on, after every update. I don't use it, don't want it, yet it still enables itself, very single time.
Why does it happen?
I supposed the settings were stored separately from the OS.
