My iPhone X has been “ glitching “ since installing IOS16.1. It’s almost unusable at this point.

My iPhone X has been glitching since installing IOS 16.1. It’s almost unusable now. It was working perfectly before this “ upgrade “.

Erratic screens, opening other apps when not prompted, shut downs, sound problems are just a few. Any fix for this?

Three basic troubleshooting steps to perform:


A) Try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions:--> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


B) Check your battery status in Settings>Battery>Battery Health>Maximum capacity. If it is close to 82-80%, have it replaced.


C) If the issue persists, something could have gone wrong during the latest update procedure.

I would try to install a fresh copy of iOS/iPadOS. To do this, create a full backup of your iPhone/iPad (1), then restore it to factory settings (you need a computer to perform this step) and, in the end, set it up as new (2).

When done, restore data from your previously made backup (3).

Follow the instructions provided in these support articles:

(1) How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch – Apple Support

(2) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

(3) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


If the issue still persists, contact Apple Support directly using this link:--> Get Support or, even better, make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
