    Can FaceTime be used without an Apple ID on iPhones?

    iMessage definitely can be used without an Apple ID. I think FaceTime, too, works without one on iPhones, but I'm not 100% sure. Wikipedia says it does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_ID#FaceTime_and_iMessage Did somebody test this? Is somebody using FaceTime regularly without an Apple...

    iPhone keeps asking me to sign in to an account I've signed out of when I reboot my phone

    I don't use my apple ID much, so I only sign into it when I need to update apps. I am signed out of it at all other times. However, every time I reboot my phone, as soon as it connects to wifi, it asks me to sign into my account, with the account email address displayed, which I find weird given...
