iOS 18.1.1 Update Issues on iPhone

I am talking about that one. A lot of issues, very frustrating. But the main one is taking a picture with the iPhone camera and then send it via iMessage... both Apple products. The phone just freeze, impossible to do anything, or the picture turns down and then it takes time to be able to reopen it, and send it. It is like having no storage left while I still have 50Go free...

After updating to iOS 18.1.1 I could not connect with my network data provider for 2 days rendering my phone almost useless when not in range of wifi. I know others on the same network did not have any issues therefore ruling out any outage rationale. It has since reconnected but on an extremely sporadic basis without any reliability. Clearly there is some sort of bug that is interfering with the connection. PLEASE address this issue immediately!!!

iOS 18.2 is being released around the world today. Like any update or upgrade, do so at your own risk. However, multiple issues are being reported by users here, on Facebook, Instagram and Reddit. Your mileage may vary.

Apple says it fixes bugs. People in this thread are saying the issues are bugs. I’ve frequently said, based on my experience, it likely to be the app that’s having issues. If you believe it’s bugs, this update likely fixes the majority. At least it did for me.

If you’re like me, some are issues are bugs, but most are related to apps not being updated. What apps am I talking about? Apps like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, TikTok and other social media platforms. Again, your mileage may vary.

hi Jeff,

a few things have been fixed such as excessive power loss. and txt msg's but my phone app is malfunctioning. in as much as Siri can make a call for me but I can't see who's calling, recent calls, contacts or phone msgs. all I get is a blank screen that disappears after 30sec or so back to the Home Screen. I haven't checked all my apps - I di have a life - but will try the check over the coming weekend.

Apple play seems unaffected with phonically being made and accepted. but I'm only in the car for an hour a day if that.

now what did I try before 18.1.2 - I rebooted several times, I tried to return IOS17 with my Mac but the file was gone so I reinstalled to IOS181.1. all this takes time theft protection takes and hour to remove. I'm glad I'm retired and very glad I'm in business and relying on my phone for my livelihood.

Twice

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 .

Why did you copy and pasted someone else's post?

Good luck, you’ll need it at a carrier. I’ve never been a carrier’s retail store and had them fix something. In fact several times the store personnel have broken them forcing me to spend hours on the phone with Apple Support. So, yes, I truly do wish you luck. 😀

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?

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

iOS 18.1.1 Update Issues on iPhone

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.

I have no messages under my husband name, which are all gone.

my black background is now black and I can’t change it through wallpaper or display. So

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.
