@FOR Yes, I seem to be turning off a lot of inviting proposals ... and discovering new ones through the notifications ... so the 'off' setting is getting plenty of use! Mind you, I do fear I might also be turning off something useful! Getting used to the new sounds I've chosen though is taking its time ... and yes, it's great not having to charge my phone every night. Even better ... the suspected spam suggestions for the many unsolicited calls I receive. Glad I'm not the only person resisting AI crap! Thanks for the encouragement! Much appreciated.
Oh, but ..... getting the HSBC mobile app to accept my new phone was a palaver, now requiring photographing ones passport and a selfie (with a nod ? !) as well as changing the password; Stressful but successful, not like my French bank account which ultimately required a visit to my branch and getting the bright young thing behind the reception to help me to unfreeze my account and change my phone on the remote banking bit. Another 'old person' syndrome problem for GenZ to observe.
