Random question, but I was using notes last night and shared a note to my reminders. A alert popped up asking access for something. I blindly said ok without really reading properly. I haven’t noticed anything odd in privacy settings etc, but wondered if there is a way of finding out what the request was for? Odd one but hope somebody can help.

Not heard from anybody so I assume it can’t be done. Could it of been malware? No website was open, but a link did form part of the note I was adding to a reminder?

It was probably the typical Apple notification alert asking if you wanted Notes to have access to just that one note or have access to all notes for use in Reminders. Nothing to worry about.

Ok. I can’t see any changes in privacy or anything which is why it looked a bit odd. Wouldn’t I see something in setting of certain access was granted?

I did. That’s the point. I said OK. But didn’t really read through the alert properly. Other option was don’t allow. Just odd can’t find any reference in prefs etc.
