Unexpected 'Parent: UNKNOWN' and SOS logs in iPhone Analytics

I’m seeing a lot of “UNKNOWN “ and “PARENT” occasionally “parent: UNKNOWN” . Also having apps appearing out thin air. Had this iPhone 16 since May. I’m no stranger to iPhones/androids this phone is doing crap I’ve only seen in movies. I’ve got a long list of things going on. This “Parent “ bologna is really aggravating me! Forgot to add… where I come from SOS is never a good thing. I’ve got several SOS logs . :/ Please someone explain. Totally confused me!

You went through four Android phones and now you’re having issues with an iPhone. I ask you what the common denominator is. You know the answer. In my opinion, yes, your cheese is sliding off the cracker.
