    Hi Jay,

    There is nothing in either of those.

     

    However, the popup message no longer appears on either my phone or my wife's! I have not changed anything but the result is good!

     

    I guess our phones were scared because I started talking to you - you rock!

     

    Thanks,

    Tony

Hi tonyr2023, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you attach a screenshot showing what you're seeing on the mobile device, while hiding any personal info?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Thanks for the image, could you check if there are any notifications in the bell icon?

     

    Could you also check that there aren't any shared files on this page?

        No worries, I'm glad to see that you're not seeing this message any longer!
