iOS 17.1.1 Issues on iPhone

My phones volume is ALL MESSED UP. Connected to Bluetooth in my car? can hardly hear, but all volumes are maxed.


connect to my AirPods? Music is fine, but all notifications of any kind are SO GD LOUD I can’t wear them.


volume is low, but 50% of the day my keyboard clicks were so loud I had to silence my phone. I didn’t even know that the clicks could be that loud! It was insane!


all my ringtones and alert sounds are changed/different - not a fan.


anyone else experiencing any of these issues?

I had NO issues with my iphone sounds prior to the iOS 17.1.1 update. The upgrade DID "alter the fundamental functionality of the device...there were [NO] underlying issues before this update."

Unfortunately, your response does not address the fact that my alert and notification tones are silent. The haptics work.


I figured it out. I was auto connected to a bluetooth speaker that was not being used. I turned the option on that speaker to "Not Connected." That solved the problem.

However, I had been connected to that speaker when it was not in use prior to this last upgrade and I had not experienced this issue.

Everything is wrong & Don't you DARE SAY, 'you must have been experiencing problems before the update & not noticed'. I HATE APPLE PHONES and WILL NEVER NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER ONE!!!!

Similar issues since upgrade to iOS 17. I have changed nothing on my settings but can’t activate iMessage or FaceTime on my phone- apple suggest it’s a carrier issue but my iPad is also with the same carrier and is fine! I don’t carry my iPad round all the time me so I’m missing important messages. Also having issues with messenger notifications, and like others I also hate how contacts look now.

iPhone 13 Pro, Apple Watch 3 and iOS 17.1.1🤮. My Bluetooth connections are gone! Can’t connect to car Bluetooth, Apple Watch Bluetooth, NOTHING! Apple Watch loses battery in an hour and shuts down. WiFi connects, but at a slower speed. Rebooting doesn’t help. Apple Watch on Airplane Mode stops the battery draining. This is the most ***-backwards update EVER!

The update has seriously screwed up my phone which worked perfectly fine prior to installing it. Phone numbers have disappeared from my contacts, photos that had been set for contacts are gone, so when I receive a call only a phone number & name appears on the screen. A picture of the contact used to fill the screen. I can't answer phone handsfree in my car anymore, and somehow it dialed a contact from a locked screen and left a voicemail while I was walking around a store. I have facial recognition and a passcode set up, so that's pretty frightening! The keyboard is entirely screwed up. It either won't type the letter I press, adds random extra letters or just puts in a random word. Predictive is shut off. Thankfully I have auto updates shut off on my Mac Book Pro... God only knows what it would do on that!

My iphone 13 updated after our family celebrated early Thanksgiving. While preparing dinner prior to the update, I checked a recipe that was saved in my Notes since about 2015. It was there while I was cooking and there after dinner when a guest wanted the recipe. After the update, I realized while looking for a different note that not only was the note I was searching for gone, but so was the note with the recipe in it that I had just used the day before the update happened. Have since discovered that approximately 50 of my notes have disappeared! If I search for them by a keyword, the title and date of the note may (or may not) show up, but when I open the note, there's nothing there. They are not in iCloud either. I'm deeply upset because I had a lot of important info there that I kept for years. When I got out my old iPhone to see if my "lost" notes were still on it, I found after waiting for it to power up that they were....for about five minutes. I opened the one with the recipe and took a screen shot of it, and then noticed that it quickly DISAPPEARED, along with all the other missing ones from my current iPhone 13! What the ****????? I have searched online and tried every which way I have found to figure out what happened (I am extremely cautious and do not accidentally delete anything, especially not 50 notes!), and nothing has worked. Super stressed and wishing I had NEVER UPDATED to this trash Apple threw at us.

Since the update one of my alarms no longer plays music but a bird song.


My phone has also locked up twice saying ‘iPhone is unavailable’ try again in a minute whilst playing music. I thought as it is winter maybe it’s cold but both times I was playing a music app.


My wallpaper has now disappeared on my lock screen even though it is still on the settings pages as the wallpaper.


I'm not sure what inconvenience will appear next. But we need a fix!
