iPhone lagging and slow after iOS 17 Update

My IPhone 13 has been considerably slower ever since I updated it to ios 17.


Its never been this way in ios 16!


while using safari, I am witnessing frame drops. My keyboard is not smooth. While check for background apps, It’s stuttering and the app overall scroll seems very sluggish and lots of frame drops.



i have more than 50Gb storage space available and my battery capacity is still above 80%.



Even while typing this, My keyboard seems sooooo sluggish!


please help me and suggest me some useful tips to resolve this apart from the usual force restart and all fixes!

I was advised to:

(1) Reset the dictionary back to the default (for me, that is just English)

(2) Make sure all apps are turned off

(3) Restart the phone

(4) Test the lag whether still happening

(5) Add back dictionaries needed.

It seemed to work for me thereafter.


Additional step suggested was to turn off the Predictive text in Keyboard as part of the above, then add it back in after restarting the phone.

my iPhone 13 is on 17.1 now and still very laggy, frame dropping and no smoothness at all.

whatsapp is always bugging.

power button to end calls not functioning as usual !! Not as i’ used to.

my apps and ios is always up to date

since ios 17 and i hate my phone. I hoped 17.1 will fix it but noooo

hopefully upcoming updates they focus more on optimizing iPhones other than their disaster of an iPhone 15s
