Missing functions since IOS 17.1 Update

Hi there


I installed the IOS 17.1 update this morning and now find things have changed a bit. For example the battery on the Home Screen no longer shows percentage remaining, if I send a text to a new number then try to create a contact by touching the number then info, there are no longer the options to be able to do this. The screen where all the shortcuts are (flashlight, timer etc) has reverted back to a few choices.


This is all I have noticed today.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Hi there, I did some research on the “search” function no longer working in “notes” and “texts” since the 17.1.1 update. I found that a solution and tried it and it worked. Here are the steps:

-In settings tap on Notes

-In notes go to Siri/Search

-Click off the 2 options under “While Searching”

-Turn off your phone, wait a bit and than turn back on

-The search function should now work

Fyi- you may have to do the same with the “messages” to utilize the “search” option in “text messages”. I’m not sure because the search feature worked for me.

Good Luck!
