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.?

Just keeps kicking me off my WiFi constantly for no apparent reason. Freezing all the time. Can't turn it off. So many useless features that most of us will never use.

I have an IPhone 14 and I have 17.0.2 downloaded and I’ve lost all purchased ring tones, my “labels” in gmail have lost all content/emails, so much as happened to my iphone, ipad and MAC, that I can’t list them all. I’ve rebooted all my devises, deleted gmail and downloaded and nothing…..I called Apple and they said it was a google problem and to contact google.

Restoring from an Older iOS Backup:

No. This is not adoption. You cannot downgrade to an earlier iOS that was is installed. That's just the way Apple has designed this. So, try another update, this time using a computer....


Update Using a Computer:

Have a Computer Handy? If so, try using a computer to update. Go here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. If any updates are availabe, they will install, sure enough.

So I barely use any of the phones apps or intelligence, on purpose, as I do not care for tech and yes I grew up around it, heavily, the newest upgrade, has messed up my voice message. I now have to put in a pass code start a new voicemail,,and yes I have re booted, refreshed all of everything , all in cloud updating yadda yadda. So I called my number and it goes to my voicemail,.,. so Apple, your 17.01 upgrade is a pain in the rear . Now I have to worry, will my calls go to my voicemail, that I have had the entire lives of all my Apple phones. I was for years Microsoft based phones and considering going back, as a vet, disabled I rely in my phone ! Apple, pull your heads outta ...... and get it right,, poor upgrades ladies,, old saying the fancier the plumbing, the easier for things to plug it up, might want to consider that,,,

Thank you again, as i never thought about using the computer to fix the update."

“I’m having a similar issue. Can’t see half the apps, no fixed apps on the bottom. Everything was fine last night, just a few hours after updating, however this morning it went through a password request loop of every email address I have. Managed to shut down to restart. Now just missing app icons on half my apps.”

I am very mad about the iOS 17 update because it deleted all of my apps. This is not ok. I want my apps back right now. I have been logged out of all of my apps and I am not very happy about it.

That is by no means a usual occurrence. I suspect that something else is going on besides the update.


You can re-download your apps.

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
