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.

This is exactly why I came here- why did they do this? What is the point? Also why are there extra steps now when you want to send an audio message or gif - or anything not just the written word? Apple loves adding extra steps. It’s as if they think they have to do something or they won’t have a job. I just edited that sentence- when I tried to insert the cursor between words, it just highlighted one of the words. Infuriating! Apple, what have you done?

My iPhone settings have also changed after I upgraded to iOS17.1.1. I can no longer save new contacts just by going to "info" after someone calls me and I want to save their number. The option to "create a new contact or add to existing contact" is no longer available. This is quite frustrating. Also, the way contacts are displayed has also changed.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help here. I have tried checking and doing the steps as mentioned on the net but nothing has helped so far.

Thank you and have a blessed day!

I also can’t get anything to work, the phone even updated last night when I was NOT plugged into power and had less power than normally required for an update. I went to bed thinking it won’t update because of this.


Find my doesn’t work at all - no devices visable , no people visable, other devices can no longer see my iphone


No applications work at all when the phone is locked, no notifications for any apps like above message, no play pause on music


No application that used to run in the background run in the back ground anymore.


It keeps telling me i have to signon for a bunch of settings attempts, but I am signed on, and/or there is no ability to just “signon” normally when it wants that the Password window pops up

Using an iphone 11 or an ipad 8th gen. . .why change the size of the notification bubble? In this latest upgrade it was shrunk side to side and does not enhance functionality. How to get it back the way it was?


The latest upgrade messed with accessibility features. When bold is turned on, now it’s really, really bold— visible but not comfortable at all. How to revert to what it was?

I set up a passcode on the my wife's iPhone XR after the IOS 17 that I want to turn off since my wife doesn't want to use one. Her iPhone will currently not recognize her Apple ID. Her phone will not allow me to change it after going through all the screens to verify her identity. On the last step of entering a verification code it shows "An unknown error has occurred". She has reported to me that there have been several other minor issues. She wishes that she never updated her phone!! Luckily I have an older phone that has not indicated a need to update the IOS. Thank God!!! If this is the future of Apple updates. I'm going the Android.

The comment above states that it shouldn’t have messed with our screens but it has. When I go to Text there’s a bloody plus sign. What happened to the **** icons. Now I have to hit the + and scroll. That’s not efficient use of time. An upgrade should be easier and not more cumbersome. I’m regretting my iPhone. I’m thinking about changing. Every time I turn around a setting is changing without me choosing the setting change.

This is absolutely the worst Apple update in a long time. All of my apps lag, my phone freezes, I’m draining battery, my Bluetooth is whack, even the aesthetic things they changed are so awful and unnecessary, the changes didn’t add anything user friendly wise just simply messed things up to mess them up. I regret fully having my phone on auto-updates. My phone was perfect before This needs fixed asap
