No offense, but have you even owned an iPhone/iPad for a considerable length of time? The darn things include a maze of settings that are inter-dependent and unexpectedly lose/alter their values; perhaps not on regular basis, but always once in a while (e.g., with a new iOS version). If file scanning and reporting capability is present, code-wise, on your device, you can consider it active - sooner or later.

Sorry for commenting on a comment, but it was so hauntingly offensive that it wrapped around to the poetic.
It reminds me of the when BMW designed their motorcycles to be so ugly they'd find beauty of their own, K1200R for example [0]

Why thank you. There is a beauty of its own in that K1200R - except for the headlamp, that is offensive, no offense intended of course.
My knowledge in the space is limited to the GS range, having been privy to a few storys of romance between rider and bike while crossing continents. A beauty of its own.
But in this case, of course, if you're an adult, the Messages part of this doesn't apply to you at all, and the photos part can be completely avoided by not using iCloud Photos.
