>I have no idea why I get these notifications, lol

Perhaps so that someone who found your iphone unlocked can't just keep using it and your iCloud in perpetuity?



I think he means, what causes apple to trigger those notifications. I don’t remember ever seeing that prompt, at least not without myself doing some action to trigger it.

Yeah, that's what I tried to guess too. Like, maybe those are sent periodically?

Could be there's some heuristics like "logged in from a different city" or such, too.
