iOS 17.1.1 Issues on iPhone

Volume is haywire. Speak screen also isn’t working since the update. It will read a few sentences and then abruptly skip large sections without missing a beat, making it initially difficult to tell that huge chunks of text are missing.

I absolutely HATE the way that contacts are now displayed (WHO thought this was a good idea???) and WHY did they change the configuration of the screen that displays when you make a call??? Can I change these settings to something LESS annoying???

Updating iOS on your iPhone should typically not alter the fundamental functionality of the device. It's possible that there were underlying issues before this update, which you might not have been aware of previously or might not have noticed.

In general, iOS updates are designed to enhance the user experience, improve security, and fix bugs, rather than introducing major disruptions to core features. The reported issue of the screen flickering and displaying a white screen after an update is likely caused by factors that are not explicitly mentioned in your post.

iOS updates primarily focus on improving system performance, introducing new features, fixing bugs, and enhancing security. They are designed to preserve your personal data, settings, and information intact.

During an iOS update, your device's operating system is upgraded, but your personal data, such as contacts, photos, messages, and other information, should remain unchanged. However, it's always a good practice to perform a backup of your device before any major update to ensure that your data is safely stored.

It's important to note that while an iOS update itself should not alter personal details, it's possible that certain features or settings may be adjusted or improved with the update. In such cases, you may need to review and adjust specific settings to match your preferences after the update.

Always make sure to read and understand the update details provided by Apple before proceeding with an iOS update, and follow best practices such as backing up your device to minimize any potential risks or complications.

The update to IOS 17.1.1 has been a disaster for my 14Pro Max. I've wasted so much time trying to get my settings back to what I had before the update...it's as if my phone was reset to some group of settings - completely ignoring what was already in the phone. Battery drain, ridiculous swings in volume settings depending on the app, saved maps...lost, and my absolute favorite...Live Voicemail. This is now apparently toggled "on" by default, and now I have a "Carrier Voicemail" I cannot delete, and my saved greeting is gone. The amount of time I've wasted trying to fix a phone that worked perfectly PRIOR to this update is just STUPID. PLEASE, Apple, issue a fix. We will NOT be updating any other apple products to this disaster version.

DONT Do It!!

totally screwed up existing apps, wayze doesn’t work properly, spell check everywhere doesn’t work properly, underlined nearly every word in this post. Tried to open an app from an email for Black Friday & nothing.

unable to open Walgreens app at all. Voice recording for text not working properly. These are just the ones I tried.

Apple has a lot of work to do.

My phone automatically updated the other night and once the update finished my phone locked up and froze. Once I was able to get it to unfreeze and start responding I found that my tap pay/wallet no longer work. Supposedly, after calling apple support, the tap sensor has failed. What's crazy is it worked 3 hours before updating the phone. Also, since doing the update all of my calendar events are gone, my volume seems weird when connected to the Bluetooth in my car.

I'm just glad that this update hasn't caused my phone to start overheating like the previous one had.

I have a iPhone 12 mini, after the last two updates my phone has slowed down fact not fiction , I have periodic problems with apps they won’t open or all the functions don’t respond, my phone is up to date and, I have half my memory available , I have to on multiple occasions have to power down my phone in order to get it to function.

Mine too. The sound quality is horrible and the background white noise feature no longer works. My phone worked without issue prior to the update and now it is nothing but a source of frustration. Apple Fix This!

The same issue, the forced update broke my iPhone 12 Pro Max in perfect condition, my 7 on 14.x OS works fine still, and so does my 4 - Apple Support telling me its a coincidental hardware issue so I have to pay for repairs, absolute clown show.

I didn’t show up to work cause of the sound problem too. I was so confused when I woke up all late and didn’t see a sign of my phone tried to wake me up and all of my alarm was still on so I tested it. Usually when the alarm rings, it will go from normal volume for like 3 times then gets louder but after the new iOS I did the opposite way 😭 it went loud 3 times then lower 🤦‍♀️

I just updated my iPhone 13 to IOS 17z My volume was all messed up. Way too loud even when I turned everything down as low as possible. Finally saw someone had suggested to shut off the phone so I did. It seems to have helped but the volume on text notifications and a few other things are still loud! Anyone know of any resolution for this??

You people who respond for Apple on these issues are nuts. There are COUNTLESS complaints all over the place about how screwed up this update was. It has NOTHING to do with "underlying issues" on an individual phone. If so, THAT phone alone would have issues, but when thousands of people are having the same issues, it's an APPLE issue! Specifically, some programmer(s) did NOT do their job correctly... AGAIN!!! Some manager felt "pressure" to rush the update, so customers be ******, here it comes, bugs and all!!! Come on Apple, FIX this issue!!! NONE OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE RECOMMENDED WORK... NONE!!!

I love the gas lighting this guy does. Literally telling us it’s preexisting and can’t be the new update. No sir. I’m sure in the last 3 years of owning my phone I would have noticed if i couldn’t control the volume. It’s kind of hard to miss.

My issue is the change in my contact list now is annoying. Shows enormous picture of who or what I am calling, then I have to scroll down to access the actual number of each individual entity. Prior to this update, I could choose the entity or person, and their number was viewable as soon as I chose who to call. I don’t need an enormous photo or letter or emoji to look at. I would prefer efficiency. Choose the person, click on the number.

I have an iPhone 11 Pro and I'm not longer able to use it after the update to iOS 17.1.1 (which was done automatically without my approval). Now I can't unlock the screen, I can't restart the phone. I'm actually f***ed.

I'm wondering when this big issue will be solved. Thanks
