ET, No one knows my usage patterns like I do. Yes, Apple allowing someone to adjust this setting could result in problems for someone who isn’t careful. But that isn’t the case here. I mostly use my phone. I only use my iPad occasionally, and it never leaves my house. So yeah, I’d feel safe extending that window to a week or two. Given that for 99% of users, the iPad is a secondary device, I think every 24 hours is overkill. Cheers, Donna
