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 .

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!

Then try posting in the Apple Calendar community and not the iPhone community. 😀

Calendar - Apple Community

I’ll ask the moderators to move your post. Good luck and I hope you have a great day!

I too am suspecting that my iPhone 13 is acting up because of the update. After updating to iOS 18, my phone says "no service", and after trying to fix it, the Verizon rep said I would need to buy a new phone. Details below:

'No service' and random shutdowns in iPho… - Apple Community

did you reboot your phone?

I have the similar issues. I delete emails and they reappear. Tried deleting them from my webmail, same thing.

I cannot search my calendar and events from November appear when I touch a same date in December, Ugh! My life is on my phone calendar.

When I watching any video song or movie or reels then i see display issue like display fade

I also am experiencing this. I can’t edit pics at all and the same pictures keep re appearing after I delete them. I hope they look into these things and fix them…

Can anyone help with battery issue with the latest 18 update?

Passwords has graduated from being part of Settings app to being its own app, called Passwords and it looks like this,

Maybe they’ll be able to add additional features and functionality in the future.
