I realize none of you iKooks knows anything about iOS where you can be
forgiven since not one of the iKooks has even so much as a college degree.

However the facts remain that I logged into the iCloud years ago, and about
two years ago Apple started nagging me to log in again for reasons unknown.

It's obvious none of you iKooks even knows how iOS works since you can't
even answer a _simple_ question of how to install a free app from the App
Store (which I can do), delete it, and then re-install it.

Despite you iKooks not never comprehending any facts, the question is valid.

The question is valid even if you iKooks play kindergarten games all day.

Why does deleting Siri recordings & installing iOS downloads work; but,
you can't even use iMessage or Facetime anymore, nor install an app twice?

that's because they miss your gregarious and charming personality. you
really should log in and say hello.

re-download it. duh.

if you've saved a copy locally, install it directly. also duh.

it's the same as any other platform.

The record amply shows that when people post like adults, I treat them so.
The fact you still don't recognize that fact is that facts are lost on you.

I think the reason you can't comprehend the question is that you only do
things how Apple tells you to; hence you don't exercise independent thought.

I use my iPad the way I want to use my iPad, which is the same way I want to
use _all_ my computing devices - which is without any required logins.

But the instant you buy an iOS devise, you're _restricted_ to a login.
Same with iTunes by the way, which also restricts you to an account.

The reason I see "stuff" you can't imagine is I exercise independent
thought. I don't do things only how Apple wants me to do them - but how _I_
want to (and how they're done on all other platforms, other than on iOS).

You iKooks, on the other hand, _never_ exercise independent
Every single post from you iKooks, nospam, proves me correct.

You can't even _understand_ a simple question about how iOS works, nospam.
Let alone answer it as an educated _adult_ would.

I get it you don't know the answer, nospam.
But why do you always _pretend_ to know the answer?

That's what kindergarten kids do, nospam.
Not adults.

The question I ask is a fair question.

You saw my screenshots (even as you likely don't comprehend what they show):
<https://i.postimg.cc/LXzB3Lc0/appleid01.jpg> Apple requires frequent login
<https://i.postimg.cc/8zSvshQf/appleid04.jpg> And requires frequent signin
<https://i.postimg.cc/SKGfmgnK/appleid05.jpg> Apple won't let you back in!
<https://i.postimg.cc/ZR5mZ287/appleid07.jpg> You can install apps only 1x
<https://i.postimg.cc/TwN6P0QR/appleid08.jpg> Yet everything else works ok
<https://i.postimg.cc/8k3GQyj4/appleid09.jpg> Android requires no login
<https://i.postimg.cc/hhFNJ5mq/appleid010.jpg> Android messengers work ok
<https://i.postimg.cc/nrFHSvby/appleid11.jpg> Apple allows software updates
<https://i.postimg.cc/Y9kkj19v/appleid12.jpg> Apple requires frequent login

The question in this thread is a valid question, nospam, even as you giggle
like a kindergarten kid and wave your hand at imaginary solutions, nospam.

You saw my screenshot on the fact that I can install but not re-install:
<https://i.postimg.cc/bJPKDSZ1/osupdate04.jpg> You can't re-install an app

If you know iOS as well as you think you do, you'd be able to explain how.
*How do I re-install _that_ particular free app installed only days ago?*

that *is* the answer, for all platforms.

either you have a local backup copy or you re-download it.

very simple.
