The parade of auto-opted-in services promos and interruptions continues.

Got this sports banner interrupting me last night on my brand new iPhone.

Apparently Sports.app opted itself into Live Activities, despite not having them enabled on the old phone, and having *never even launched the app* on the new one.

@marcoarment I swear I deleted all my teams and leagues (and disabled live activities) long ago on my old phone. On my new phone, live activities were re-enabled *and* my old teams/leagues reappeared (probably due to sync bugs, not malice).

@siracusa @marcoarment Also had some notification weirdness with this years transfer. Mail re-enabled notifications. I’ve had those badges off through a decade of transfers! Also lost my CarPlay app orders/settings and had to re-configure some Home controls in control centre.

Did someone say sports sync bugs?

@siracusa @marcoarment meanwhile for those of us who care about the local sports team, this feature is wonderful

@siracusa @marcoarment I suddenly had notifications enabled on shared calendars and shared reminders that were previously off.

@siracusa @marcoarment Could be that when resolving conflicts, it prefers the set with data to the set without.
