iOS 17.0.1 causing iPhone issues

Yesterday, August 20, 2024, i updated my iPhone pro max to ios 17.0.1, from Apple. At first my phone seemed to work okay, but I’ve noticed today that i can not access my Home Screen, the phone power button doesn’t operate by turning off the phone. I can access all my apps through the icon drawer. I have 3 separate screens, but can only access the last screen. When i swipe right to attempt to go to the Home Screen, my daily feeds screen shows up, swiping left gives me access to my apps drawer. I tried to power down my phone thinking that maybe a restart would fix the issue, but nothing happens when i press the power button. Thinking that maybe the update had just deleted my Home Screen and gave me the one screen as my Home Screen, i attempted to add short cuts to my Home Screen, but when ever i add an app to the Home Screen it doesn’t shore up, this tells me that my Home Screen is not the screen I’m stuck on, or I’m unable to add shortcuts to my Home Screen. Can i roll back the update? If so, how, and where do i find directions to do this.?

Apple says to upgrade to 17.0.3 which I did. I have found that a reboot gets things working normal again. Do this fast first press vol up button then vol down then press and hold in power off button don’t let go until Apple logo shows on screen then let go and wait for ph to prompt next move. Then swipe up punch in your pass code. Phone opens up. This mays work. I’ve solved lots of issues using this simple hack. If you do it wrong don’t worry just do it again.

My iPhone 12pro has been glitching since iOS 17.1. I’ll be in the middle of typing a message and it starts flipping to other apps and I have to go back to the original app I was typing in. It is driving me nuts. Not just once but almost every time I message someone in either imessenges, yahoo email or Facebook messenger. They need to put out a fix ASAP!

I installed iOS 17.1 and now my messenger has been removed! I can open messenger from the App Store but I cannot download the app to my desk top. Help

If the button in the App Store says "Open", that means that the app is already installed on your device. Go to the App library (last page to the right). Tap in the search bar at the top of the page to access the alphabetical list of apps. Find the one you want to move to the home page. Press and hold on it. Select "Add to Home Screen".

I’ve discovered a new and annoying iOS 17.1.1 bug…


When I make a phone call, I can no longer end it. I finish talking, my iPhone screen is dark, so I try to tap it to bring up the phone screen, and nothing happens. I try pressing the Power button, or Volume buttons, and nothing happens.


In essence l cannot end the call at all. I have to hold the other person does so. Eventually, after about 8-10 seconds - presumably once the other person has disconnected - my iPhone will let me use it again!


This is so annoying and a MAJOR bug!


The more I read about all the iOS 17 problems e.g. notification issues, sound problems, tone changes that can’t be altered, apps missing on home screens, etc, etc, the worse I feel this update is! It’s a disaster zone!

After latest I watch update I can’t access the swipe screen which has theatre mode, no ring and find phone.

That is correct. The Control Center access has been moved. You now access the exact same screen by tapping the side button. It's the oval button next to the Digital Crown. It's flat, almost flush with the bezel.

Also uses up all my charge which never happened before.

Un-pair and re-pair the watch.

The iPhone update 17.1 is the worst and a slap in the face to customers and shareholders. I’ll be cancelling my Apple TV as a result of your arrogance and buggering.
looking forward to this getting fixed or moving past IPhones to other providers.
I expect better from Apple

This is insane that we have to go through so much trouble to try to get our phones back to working order after Apple forced us to update to this new terrible system. This is truly the worst update yet. I don't have time, patience or understanding of all these instructions to try to get my phone back to normal. I'm at a loss of what to do. I'm praying they'll release another update asap to fix the garbage update they just gave us.

I ran iOS 17 on an iPhone 11 Pro with zero issue.

New update totally blows! I can’t seem to get my curser to work in messages if the message is longer than the screen. Also sending notes has all these unnecessary new features. I really don’t understand why they keep messing with the things that actually work. And honestly makes me wish I had gotten a different phone now. It’s exhausting and I really don’t have the time to research all the work arounds. I turned off my automatic update which I think gets turned on when you do decide to update. I might try to figure out how to go back to the old operating system but again who has the time?
