iOS 18.1.1 Update Issues on iPhone

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 .

EXACTLY - this new update has me wanting to switch from having an iPhone and I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max which was purchased 3 months ago. I HATE THE PHOTO ALBUM LAYOUT - CANNOT FIND ANYTHING, I AM STARTING TO HATE MY IPHONE BECAUSE OF THIS!🤬

With the problems you are having with 18.1.1, I understand your frustration even though I haven’t experienced them, except the loss of apostrophes in conjunctions, I advise you not to move to Galaxy which my husband uses. Galaxy’s updates are even worse than Apple’s in craziness. On top of that, my caregiver who has a Galaxy cannot get a phone signal from inside our house or an internet signal from our wi-fi.

If I’m not mistaken, you can go back to a specific version of iOS by restoring a safe copy via iTunes made from that time while the iPhone had that update installed. An Apple technician out there seeing this thread: Is that right?

OK, iOS 18.1.1, was a disaster, but Apple has fixed this with iOS 8.2 update. You will need to charge your iPhone to 100% before you start the update. I had my iPhone connected to 240v power charging, while performing the update and 70% battery level still dropped to 30%. The update took 1.5 hours to complete on my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Check your storage first before you update to iOS 8.2. This is a massive update and will install around a extra 7gb of storage. I had some trouble with the iPhone not connecting to WiFi, but after several attempts I got it working. Some apps will need to be updated and I had to reinstall a banking app.

All is working good now and battery life has improved greatly on standby.

I just did the update 18.2 becareful doing it people, my phone seems to be okay but I have not accessed every app yet.

I’ve responded to 6+\- Facebook posts, a text message, checked emails, sent a reply and when I started this am I was 100%, now 3 hrs later only on phone for an hour my battery has drained to 59%.

It dropped 2% while posting this message. Previous to 18.2 update my phone lasted all day, even when listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

Not impressed.

I am used to that when I get a notification of a missed call, I just press the notification to call back. Now I instead gets redirected into that contact, extremely frustrating! Is it possible to get rid of the new "feature"?

Was hoping that 18.2 would solve this but, no.

I absolutely REFUSE to EVER return to a so called "Genius Bar". Never have I ever encountered a genius! Never have they ever rectified a situation with my phone. I have upgraded to 18.3 and I STILL cannot use my calendar in the way that it is to be used because it won't work properly. If I hit the "plus" button to add an event it either does nothing or it takes me to an appointment that has already been make and is already on the schedule. HELP!

Ever since this last upgrade my phone keeps switching off. Still has virtually full power so it’s not even battery drain. The phone is useless. Being disabled I rely on it. If they don’t correct it soon I too will be getting an android. Not putting up with this

You can no longer update to iOS 18.1.1. The current version is iOS 18.3.2.

Actually, as of a few hours ago, it is 18.4.

OOPS, I saw it on the appleseed board, so it is available in some locations, but not others yet.

I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I had actually checked my phone as I posted that, just to make sure I hadn't missed something.

ETA: as of this writing, I've still got 18.3.2.

Auto correction and swipe keyboard in Greek do not exist anymore (literally) on iOS 18.1.1 while it was perfect on 18, so i have to type like we use to on an old computer.

Hello, since the iOS 18.1.1 update, I can no longer edit font color on photo editing. Actually editing is a problem in general and very glitchy.

No, you can’t revert an iOS upgrade. Anything else you would like assistance with?
