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?

My phone updated almost two days ago to iOS 17 and it’s been super slow/ laggy. Some apps completely froze, Findmy isn’t working AT ALL, no family members shown. Locations inside message info aren’t working like it should either, with live and refresh ability. Only seems to show old data. This is what I’ve noticed in two days. Does anyone know how to go back to IOS 16 until they figure out these bugs?

i had the same audio issue after the update and fixed it by going into sound and haptics and tuning on headphone safety and sliding the meter all the way to the right to 100 decibles. It worked but if you play around with it by turning it off then on or adjusting it multiple times you have to exit out and come back. Then it’s fine. Remember to turn up volume on I tunes again. It turns it down.

You people have totally lost it!!!!! This update is so dang screwed up!!!!! What the heck did you do!!!!!! 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!!!! The more you people think you improve it....the more screwed up it gets. This phone is nothing more than a useless pile of manure!!!!! Piece of **** phone!!

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.

Sound quality of Apple iPhones has always been poor. But the 17.1.1 update has taken it to new lows. The sound of iTunes is now “tin-canny” sounding. No bass left. Volume is lower, was already too low to begin with even when maxed out. It amazes me how Apple’s attention is always focused on improving each edition of their phone with improved camera and picture taking quality while sound quality and microphones seem to be ignored. I wish it mattered what the end user/ paying customer would like to have. Sound quality ppl!! Sound quality!! plz!

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.

I have IPhone 13 and since updating my phone is a mess. I keep losing connection with my IPods it keeps connecting then disconnecting. It will keep going to home screen when I’m on FaceTime with someone, I keep having to click to get it back. I can’t hear phone conversations, they can hear me, the screen freezes and turns black. I also lost the ability for texts GIFs. My phone volume and power off abilities freeze where I can’t even push them to do anything! Not sure what else I will find! Please either undo this fix or correct all these problems!! I can’t take it!!!

this new iOS has messed my phone functionality up big time. Whenever I send photos it says they haven’t sent, I keep trying to send only to find later from the recipient they receive it on every attempt! Also, when some recipients reply to texts I will receive their reply on my phone while others recipients I will only receive their replies on my laptop whenever I open it which isn’t every day. Really frustrating. On top of that, I won’t receive Messenger messages on my phone until I open my laptop. No idea. Maybe I’m only getting responses fro. Other users that have iOS 17.1.1?? Idk, pretty whack…..
