iPhone users claim that the “Check In” feature has been suggesting they contact exes and even dead relatives. The feature, which was introduced in 2023, makes suggestions on who users should alert when they arrive at a certain location. One user claims the feature recommended contacting her deceased mother, and another received a message with her ex-husband’s name. One TikToker who goes by Jayfreezing says the feature frequently recommends his boss. “Very scary and intrusive that relationships of any kind are being worked out and tested by some algorithm,” one user commented.
