iOS 18.1.1 Update Issues on iPhone

Every darn time Apple updates there’s issues on my phone. Every time theres an update with IOS theres issues Now my photo albums

are gone!! It’s disgusting and I’m seriously thinking of going to Samsung!

Photos app is unusable. Music app is suddenly glitchy and my recently listened to music is constantly missing, it has almost a Spotify feel (bad). Text boxes seem to confuse my handset and it bogs down, sometimes delayed-tapping by two seconds or more. Autocorrect is non-functional. Screen stays on regardless of the Display setting. Somehow I butt-photo’d the inside of my back pocket, and the spotlight keeps turning on in the middle of the night. What on EARTH happened to Apple products??? This is right when I’m considering my next handset purchase. Wow!

This update is a disaster. For a month now I have barely been able to communicate with my husband (android user) via text. Messages disappear, they sometimes come from his work phone number (which I have actually removed from my contacts all together) text history is completely gone. I have restored the device to factory settings and done all the troubleshooting with not one or two but 4 reps at Apple. They always send a nice follow up email that they are working on the issue with no ETA for resolution. I have been a loyal apple customer for years and years and I am giving them one more week to fix this or I am switching to Android. Apple knows this update is a disaster and affecting a multitude of functions so why has the update not been walked back? I also find it interesting they are not reporting on this at all-suspect.

have had lots of issues with my iPhone after the 18.1.1 update as well, including all kinds of weird problems with my calendar. I had the same issues you had plus it showed events and reminders from over a year ago that were not supposed to repeat. I finally got the calendar fixed by toggling the views back and forth but had to manually delete the old dates. I have also had issues being able to send texts but finally found a setting that the update must have changed.

The biggest issue I have not been able to resolve is a connection problem. I THINK cellular and WiFi are clashing with each other therefore preventing me from being able to connect if they are both turned on. I have to continuously go back and forth turning one or the other off and sometimes it doesn’t make any difference. But other times it works as it should. I have gone through all my settings and can’t find anything different. What is going on????

Because Apple is so cloud based, why didn’t the updates for iPad and MacBook / Mac book Pro, Home, etc… arrive same time as the iCloud. Nickels to dollars, my money is this off setting updates are at the root of all of these phone issues. Apple prides itself on having items be handed off device to device…. But won’t update them all at once.

Are you referring to iOS 18.1.1? The X.X.X updates are almost always security related updates. Security updates can affect third party apps and force developers to rewrite portions of their software that may no longer work.

Since the update if I am not home on my WiFi my searches don’t work safari or google. Also other apps don’t work also and this is when I’m on 5g or someone else’s WiFi this never happened before 18.1.1 So why is this happening?

Tbarr64 — much of your issue seems cellular based. You cellular provider does the firmware and most of the software for your cellular service. Have you talked to the support team at your cellular provider?

I realized the android overheating complaint should not be in this list. I was confused because they happened at the same time. The 18:11 update some how kicked out our centurylink email accounts. After close to an hour with centurylink they told me to contact Apple.

Years ago I had support tell me not to upgrade for a couple of days. Complaints about the upgrade could be worked out by then. At this point maybe we should wait a week.

Right they basically ruined my 14 pro. I’ve lost stuff I was in the middle of writing via email or on apps, because the keyboard disappeared, and there was no way to get it back. In addition, I can’t go back and comment on a prior text that someone sent put a thumbs up anything that’s just a couple of the many things!

So frustrating- this latest update changed so many parts of the phone. I have things scheduled on my phone that I deleted 6 years ago. I have holidays appearing that moved my actual appointments to be not seen. I can’t see my notes within the schedule which has locations and phone numbers hidden. I have too many medical appointments lost within the phone.

I have missing business emails that people say they sent. I can’t open some of the emails either. Come on Apple, I’m very very frustrated. On going issues. No sound on my phone all day yesterday, calendar screwed up today, emails missing.

1.I literally pay for extra phone storage so we should be reimbursed if we’re basically unable to use it & I know I’m not overloaded and yet my photos and videos take forever to load IF they load at all. I’m also unable to send videos to people due to them just sitting and spinning. 2. I’ve noticed I’m unable to post photos or videos on IG from my gallery. I’m only able to post what I take at that moment. 3. Every time I delete photos either one by one or mass selection, they remain. They simply don’t delete. Apple, please fix these bugs ASAP!!!

Me too. Very inconvenient. Everything is bugging... it is freezing all the time. I am a moderate iPhone user, with a 128 Go storage and 71 Go used. Since the last update my phone function as the one I had when I reached 63 Go used out of 64....... I want to go back to the former one!

I have exactly the same issue. I used to take a picture, click the send icon and send it via I message or WhatsApp, or even email... No I hit the send icon and it freezes or it just shut down the picture. Then everything is freezing. And I have to wait a few minutes before being able to reopen the picture, and send it. It usually works on the second or the third try... I have 50Go storage left and my phone now works as if I had 1 or 2 Go left... I turn it off every other day, I have storage, I am a moderate user, I didn't change the way I use my phone, but nothing is working properly... I have the last generation SE...
