Last Week, I Overslept 3 Times

It was so strange, for the first time in I don't even remember how long, I overslept. 3 times. I couldn't believe it. Fortunately, I wasn't working last week, so I wasn't TECHNICALLY late for anything, but my sleep cycle got all wackadoodle.

I also have alarms on my google device, but I had turned them off for the week, so I was relying solely on my iPhone to get me up.

I noticed when I woke up early and was playing games or something, my alarm would go off without a sound and I couldn't figure it out. Since I had other alarms on google, I just chalked it up to a stupid update, and forgot about it.

Turns Out, There's A New Feature On The iPhone

Huffpost is reporting that savvy iPhone users think they've found where the glitch is coming from.

It's an AI feature that came in 2023 called Attention Aware. Attention Aware uses the camera to see if someone is actively on their iPhone, and adjust the settings to match the activity.

Don't Answer Calls From These Phone Numbers

We all get a lot of calls from numbers that we don't recognize. Most simply don't answer. However, if you receive a call or a text from one of these numbers, you definitely don't want to respond. In fact, just block these numbers.
