iOS 18.1.1 Update Issues on iPhone

Same issue 18.1 download KILLED MY PHONE! Apple didn't help much after 3 hours no change. It will not restore to factory settings or update! time for a new phone when will they stop. killing phones to make money?

Me too! One example that is the tip of the iceberg is what they did to the dates on Photos. Upper left-hand corner you get a month and three dots no day no year. I have hundreds of photos of my mother through her Dementia. They’re very sentimental to me and when they pop up, I can say all this was when we did this or that. No longer I have to guess I can’t even just tap it to find the date. I am baffled by this change.

I need help. Ive just updated my phone to the IOS 18.1.1 update and now my phone keeps turning off after 5-10 minutes and turning back on again. i dont know what to do. ive taken the sim out, ive put my phone on charge and off again, ive tried rebooting it and nothing has worked. please someone help :(

I agree with everything you said and more. So, I made an appointment with Apple Genius Bar in Miami (yesterday) The guy told me that he didn’t know of any issues with 18.1.1.

I told him to look at Apple Community and X - there is so much out there about 18.1.1 being a disaster.

Anyway - he fixed nothing. Told me to kill my phone and reload it - but each APP would have to be downloaded one-by-one. He then told me the changes in 18.1.1 are what customers were asking for. I said “where”. He did not answer. He said - they can not respond to everyone’s problems. I told him lots of people are having trouble with calendars, voicemails, emails.

REALLY - they can’t fix this?

I think it absurd that I had to make an appointment and waste 3 hours - going to downtown - then waiting - then driving back. For NOTHING.

being a disaster.

I am Getting out of Apple - their support team is so non responsive.

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 problem

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.

On further explorations after the recent huge Apple update, I would like to add the following.

My post to Facebook.

I hate Apple. I hate that they’ve made it so difficult to find photos. I resent the fact that they try to organise things that I’m perfectly able to organise myself. I hate that they’ve put a message balloon thing on my cover photo - one that asks you for a message, and the other (tho there may be more) that offers you to put some music on it for 24 hours.

I emphatically do not want to be that organised. I am not a ten year old wanting little games. I’m an adult who can deal with things the way I want, and HATE all this baby stuff. It’s wasting my time.

Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Hopefully, this may help. If not, please create a new post specific to issues you may have after updating to iOS 18.2

Apple iOS 18.2 public release is rolling out around the world in many (all?) countries today. I watched a video from someone in Australia an hour ago and he’d installed the update and reported that it resolved many of his issues. The article below explains how to update. The release time in your area may not have occurred yet. You will just need to check the update option in your iPhone.

I am also extremely dissatisfied with iOS 18.1.1 . So many things that were working beautifully are now much worse and some things seem to have a bug like for example:

• The language keyboards. I navigate between 4 languages and it has become a nightmare as now when you select a French and English keyboard, they merge them together and most words are not corrected so you have to keep changing keyboards to see if one of them will work (even the UK or US keyboard won't correct basic english words that any English keyboard should correct!).
• The photo gallery became a mess and I had to spend a lot of time to find all my albums and try to put them the way they were but I have only managed to make some adjustments and not return to the way it was. To go to the previous or next photo you now have to click on the x to close it which I find more annoying and time consuming than the previous arrows.
• The calculator now shows you all the digits you are typing with the - and + and the whole screen gets filled horizontally with numbers which is really annoying.
• Also the calculator: when you type a number and then decide you want to clear it all, you can't as the AC button disappears! So you have to delete number by number with the backward X!
• I also noticed that my phone heats up often for no apparent reason. Just after watching a few videos or doing some scrolling and I had no such issues before.
• There are other points too which I am not remembering at this moment. I truly hope they will give the option of returning to the previous version for those who want as honestly all the updates have made everything worse for me. I am not satisfied with one single aspect. I believe that when something works, let it be. Don't keep trying to innovate. You may please some people but you are also displeasing many, especially if many features are now worse!! Thanks for your time and I truly hope a solution will be found for the highest good of ALL!

I was expecting a very important text with a document and I could not receive it and the person could not reach me. I was unable to use the keypad to make a call. What a mess!

I don’t like IOS 18.1.1. My doorbell stopped ringing and a lot of glitches and freezing. Apple please fix this problems.

Yeah, I think it’s time that I leave Apple products behind. I’m tired of all the issues.

after printscreen, i cannot to draw..edit the picture like before..ipad os 18.1.1
