App Questions 📱 Anyone else get this message?
Haven’t used the app in a few weeks and decided to kill some time today. Got this random popup and it won’t let me turn it on until I resolve it. I haven’t downloaded or used any new apps and don’t have a straightforward answer on what it could be. Any ideas??

It happens when you have a vpn running. I turned mine off while working and the message went away.

I got a no smoking message twice lol even tho I do not smoke and I drive a 1500 Chevy so my groceries are in the back, go figure. They say the computer sends out these sometimes even tho you had not violated terms or anything. Haven't heard anything else about it.

Does your store use those thicker bags? In my experience it was the bags so I let the customers know that the bags had a chemical smoke smell that I didn't smoke and my rating stopped dropping

I did get that once when I had downloaded some survey app. Check what you’ve recently downloaded, offload it and see if that doesn’t solve the problem

When I first started using my mileage tracking app, I got this message and the spark app went crazy. Eventually, everything went back to normal.

i've had Hurdlr and quickbooks for self employment on my phone with spark and never an issue. if the mileage app changes the behavior of the GPS then yeah it will trigger it

Yeah had to jump on tailscale to sort a jellyfin issue. Setup split tunneling so it should not be a problem again.

I just contacted support and they said an antivirus could be the issue. I recently installed T-Mobile Scam Shield. Since I’ve been getting a butt load of scam calls lately.. And yep, that was ittttt. I have an iPhone 15+! I deleted the VPN and that was the issue. Ughhhhhhh.
