iOS 18.1.1 Update Issues on iPhone

Help. HELP. Help. APPLE is non-responsive on problems with 18.1.1 Update. My calendar is not searchable. My voicemails are gone. My battery is heating up during charging. This has to be fixed. This is the worst of the worst updates. So many parts of the phone not working properly. APPLE - what are you doing? Leave the formatting alone. And to add to the problems - after the update - had over 30 calls come in from spammers and unknowns - How do we get APPLE to withdraw 18.1.1 and/or fix these problems?

Even at 81 years of age and about ten happy years of iPad and iPhone use, This latest update has me fuming and bewildered. My needs are simple. I email, i google, i am active on Facebook, on Message, in Italian and English, on a number of other Apps. Now I’m fighting to do simple things. Why are these perfectly spelled words all underlined? Why am i getting i when I want I? Why do apostrophes no longer appear? I’m sorry, Apple, but you are battering some of us with far too much. Most people neither want nor need these levels of “exras” (notice how it hasnt corrected either “extras” or put the apostrophe in hasnt”. What is going on. I’ve loved being with Apple - on phone and iPad, but this latest update is a mess and I’m going to have to re think (!) my allegience .

You guys actually going to help fix all the issues that you started with this horrid new update or just continue to let everyone suffer!?? I’ve called 5 times now and haven’t been able to use my notes in over a MONTH!?? This is unacceptable Apple…do your job and fix this mess! If I have to buy a new phone I will never be buying a new Apple product ever again in my life.

Totally agree iOS 18.1.1 has been very bad. Totally ruined my call quality. My microphone has been terrible and whenever I’m speaking to people on call they complain they cannot hear me and the voice sounds muffled. But when I turn to speaker during the call I can be heard clearly. This is very frustrating especially when all other features of the microphone are working well on videos and when recording voice memos I have no issues.

and the battery too 😭 drains too fast and the phone overheats. Wish this could be resolved ASAP I need to move from this 18.1.1 update

My friend s iphone has shut down and wont respond to any actions is stuck on emergency page. Mine is slow to respond plus keeps freezing and generally not working properly battery power has dropped too. Whats going on? Its not good enough these phones cost alot of money and apple should be more respectful. My ipad keeps playing the songs when im doing something else. Wish i hadn’t downloaded 18.1

Yep, I'm finally done with Apple after this latest update of 18.1.1.


I'm in the business where I'm on the phone a lot in my car and after this latest update, my car phone does not work, or more accurately, I sound like I am miles away and people cannot hear me......I've restarted my phone several times and adopted other tricks, but nothing has fixed the issue. My earpods are also affected......Clearly these muppets at Apple never test things thoroughly.....Hello Android !!!!!

I am also having issues after 18.1.1 update. I’m not receiving iCloud email consistently. I spent almost 5 hours on the phone with agents to no avail. I was told there’s not been any reports of my problems which I see is not true.

The agents want to factory reset my phone. I don’t think that’s a good idea because wouldn’t it just install the same update?? Apple, PLEASE SEND A FIX!

If it has no issues on only apple software and battery performance is normal, it tells you your third party apps are the issue. I know that’s not the answer you hoped for. But that’s what you’ll face when the update comes out from Apple and your third party apps are still causing the issues.

Apple does not support downgrading. So we’re stuck with an operating system that has a terrible photos app that won’t message full sized photos and many many other glitches.

We’ve paid over $1000 for phones that the Tech’s have ruined.

If they don’t fix the OS I’m going to Android.

18.1.1 has ruined the iPhone

I agree with everyone on this chat. I joined today because I am so frustrated with 18.1.1 and wanted to see if I was alone. Apple, where have you hidden the very useful list of passwords for all of the accounts that I use and saved pw’s for?!!! It is really helpful to be able to check the list, not least to see when I have unintentionally repeated a pw. Please bring it back, or if it isn’t gone, put it back where it was.
