    iPhone How do I stop iPhone sending logs to Console on my Mac?

    I just noticed that, whenever my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.x) is on WiFi, it’s sending logs to Console on my Mac. I see almost no info about this online, and then it’s only showing people how to enable this with outdated Mac iPhone configuration software. I can’t find even a reference to adding or...
