iOS 18.1.1 Update Issues on iPhone

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 problems?

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 .

Same problems here — from photo album, sending to messages, the software just fails, no photo but offering a chance to… just send a text. Anybody know a workaround, or must we just wait patiently for Apple to issue 18.1.2? Shouldn’t happen at X.1.1, and sho7ld have been fixed already…

They keep telling me the same every time I call. They pretend like they have no clue what’s going on and it’s complete bs. They finally said the “developers” are working on it well it’s been a month so wth!? Whoever designed that should be fired!!

Same! I have a brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max that I bought in Bali because they won’t have the 16 available until next year here. It was working amazing and the battery lasted all day. Since this update, my keyboard is all messed up, it messed up my autocorrect to random words I’ve never used especially in WhatsApp (and I have reset the keyboard over 5 times to no avail). Now my battery is draining, it used to last all day, now by 12:30pm I only have half battery left. I am soooo upset. Why do I even do these setting updates when all they do is destroy your phone. My phone was purchased in September, I want to go to Apple and return it for new one!!!!

There are so many glitches in the new update. They are not letting me change my photo of my Apple ID and then I finally was so tired that I just did it one more time and I did slide to power off and when I went back in it didn’t work. I’m so mad, sad, and disappointed and I wish I never downloaded it

My photo albums are very hard to find. Sometimes you can’t. When you do, the photos inside the album are not in the order you had them. Recent photos go back to 2022. This is the worse update you have ever had. And, it is not just me. I was at a dinner party and everyone at the table was complaining about the same thing. Especially the photo app. No longer can find anything you want in Photos. This is so frustrating!!! Why do you mess witching that is working?

My 15 pro will randomly reboot once or twice a week since I installed 18.1.1. It’s really weird because it usually occurs when I am moving between apps and it’s a super quick reboot, I don’t even see the Apple logo, just the small turning gear wheel in the middle of the screen.
