Did a steal update push out? Phone and watch suddenly acting strange.

[Trekkie]

The last two days, both my watch, and my phone are now constantly asking me for my location, permissions for the weather app of the weather widget, and the weather app, and also my watch face on the watch only partially time shows, and if I change it to another face

The ultra face on the second bar around the top, the weather and the sunset and maybe trying to figure out what happened because I noticed I kept pop-ups for the weather answering later trying to figure out what happened. I didn’t have anything done.

I tried resetting rebooting the phone and the watch. I haven’t started over yet.

What is a “steal update”?

I'm not sure what a "steal update" is, but I do partially recognise similar behaviour to that described by @Trekkie – periodically my iPhone seems to have its security reset (e.g. banking apps – I have to enter full credentials instead of just the Face ID sign-in, websites start asking cookie requests, various apps have signed me out etc.).

The TO probably meant a "stealth update"?
