Just updated to iOS 26 and a few hours later got this notice about “enchanted 5g” for some apps. I had no idea what it was, so I checked the details and saw that it was automatic enabled and shares info about what apps you use with Verizon. If it wasn’t for this notification I would have no idea this was running.

No thanks. Disable that.

Edit: “enchanted” lol. Meant enhanced.

    Exactly! They wouldn’t install spyware on your phone if it didn’t give them more/better information on you.

      Yeah seems like it might have the benefit of VPN circumvention. I would be sending data to Verizon about my app usage and they’d get information they wouldn’t otherwise if I’m using a VPN.
