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 have the same issues, not only on an iPhone 13 but on a wi-fi iPad Air 5. Both were running perfectly on ios 16 but one of the ios 17 updates has caused freezing, slow updates and poor performance on both. they both have plenty of storage (96GB free on the phone and 142Gb on the iPad. If Apple won’t fix the problem then why don’t they resign iOS16 so people can downgrade. It’s pretty bad when you spend the kind of money that iPhones and iPads cost and then get poor performance due to the software.

My phone is used largely for work and have been having many issues regarding messaging app being slow and oftentimes enlarging and freezing until I force close as well as other steps back in the QOL dept. Tried powering off and full reset to no avail. I only switched over to apple due to the ecosystem and apparent convenience in cohesion with work. This update has made me question that decision.
