iPhone owners started receiving unexpected advertising notifications from the Apple Wallet app, which is usually used to store bank cards and discounts. The messages offered users to buy tickets to a new Apple TV + film called “Formula 1”.
On social media, users are outraged that they did not consent to such a mailing. In addition, such advertising contradicts Apple’s own principles of personal data protection and privacy.
The publication Rozetked noticed that in the beta version of iOS 26 appeared a function to disable advertising alerts in the Wallet app. However, users of the official stable version of iOS 18 do not have this option yet.
As for the film itself, Formula One tells the story of Sonny Gase, a former racing driver who left the sport after a serious accident in the 1990s. years later, the owner of the APXGP team asks him to return to the sport as a mentor for young driver Joshua Pearce. The film is being produced by Warner Bros. and Apple Original Films.
