I suspect AI crawler would also (quickly learn to) respect it also?

Or 1 million people sold $1 worth of Apple. If you want to execute a large trade, you'd probably have to buy from several sellers, and (my limited understanding of the market is that) you'd do so by matching sell orders in ascending order, thus pushing the market value up.

Looking through the settings, I reckon one can set a message to be sent automatically to your "emergency contacts", along with your location when you use the mentioned feature. A possible use case: coming home late at night, you get followed by a sinister looking guy; you can discreetly ask for help without pulling your phone.

As said in a sibling comment, you can try it in a desktop browser (Chrome instructions below):

- open developer tools, Toggle device toolbar, pick an iPhone dimension

- Network > More network conditions ("wifi" icon) > User-agent > Custom > "iPhone Safari"

- in Sources, set a breakpoint on the 1st line, refresh the page, when the debugger breaks, type "window.navigator.standalone = true" in the Console, and continue
