Apple turned on a buried iPhone setting. You might want it off.

Apples newest iPhone software has a switch turned on by default: Discoverable by Others.".

Thats not the case, says Apple, but you might want to turn it off anyway..

When you go into Settings > Privacy & Security > Journaling Suggestions, youll see that Discoverable by Others is enabled by defaulteven if you never turned on suggestions..

It doesnt store which of these specific contacts were around but instead may use this as context to improve and prioritize journaling suggestions, the spokeswoman said..

Basically, Apple knows this new app isnt likely to be used by the masses right away, so it turned on this service to give its earliest users a journaling boost..
