Could you get banned from the calculator app?

Can you get banned from calculator by dividing 0 by 0?

What do you mean by "banned"?

What you will get is an error message:

As I have said before, if you are that naive to believe everything you read on the internet, then it is not a safe place for you to be browsing.

You need to realize that these fake claims made on TikTok and other Social Media sites are only there to drive Likes and to have people directed to their page. Search Engine responses that use AI to scour the internet for these claims have no idea if they are true or not. We have seen the faked photoshopped post here to and it is laughable.

The correct answer is NO, you will not be banned. If you fell for it, then just let that be a lesson for you so you do not fall for those phishing emails and find yourself giving up all of your personal information because you believe everything that you see on the internet.

I answered this yesterday. Why did you ask again? Or wasn’t it you who asked?

Is there some sort of practical joke going around?

There apparently was a similar question yesterday that has since been removed. I can't tell who posted it.

It also appears to be something showing up in TikTok ( I found that in a web search, not by actually using TikTok). I found one from about 16 hours ago.

Someone on Twitter/X made a post about two months ago saying that Apple should ban people who divide by zero. I assume it was intended to be funny?

So, stupid social media fads strike again.

It’s wonderful what you can do with photoshop🤣

Sorry, but that is fake. Either you attempted to make it yourself or you fell for someone that did. It is a terrible fake at that. Hopefully you are not that naive and if you are, the internet is probably not a safe space for you to be browsing.

Nope!

I think we can agree that any of these responses is correct:

• NAN
• Not a number
• Error
• Divide by 0 error
• Indeterminate

What is also correct is that you will not get banned and that was simply a Social Media hoax that does not really belong on a Support Site.

I'm not sure what happened to your friend, but they weren't "banned from the calculator app". That's just not a real thing.

No, it did not! If that is what your friend told you, then they were not being truthful with you.

The answer it quite simple, no you cannot, it has no moderation and no rules, you can’t get banned from the calculator app because it isn’t a Form of social media, at most you will get an error, undefined, or Indeterminate

This thread started in August, thanks to some TikTok tripe.

I would hope the original poster has received their answer.

Or their Apple Account is long bricked of course, and they won’t be able to reply.

Please review and adjust your skepticism setting to its proper 2024 value. 😉

I didn’t get that, I got “Error”

Which would be expected.

Please have an authorized service provider verify the operation of your troll-detection sensor. 😉

That, or maybe the calculator app that OP is using was sold by Archie McPhee? 🤭
