Users report the Headspace meditation app silently installing itself on iPhones every day around 1pm EST, despite having automatic downloads disabled. The issue has affected multiple iPhone models over the past three days.
Multiple iPhone users have reported finding the Headspace app automatically appearing on their devices daily, even with automatic downloads turned off in settings. The issue began approximately three days ago and occurs consistently around 1pm EST.
Affected devices include iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12, and iPhone 17 models, suggesting the problem is not device-specific. Users have updated to the latest iOS version without resolving the issue.
The cause remains unclear. Possible explanations include a misconfigured app store setting, a bug in iOS, or an issue with Headspace's distribution system. Apple's automatic app reinstallation feature typically only restores previously purchased or downloaded apps—not apps users never installed.
Headspace and Apple have not publicly addressed the reports. Users experiencing the issue should check their Apple ID purchase history and disable automatic app downloads in Settings > App Store. Those affected are advised to report the problem to Apple Support.
