IOS 17.1.1 update changed a lot of settings

My screen during a phone call has changed, the buttons have moved, and the screen blurs out the picture. Can this be changed back to normal? Just one of many things that are different.

iPhone 11, iOS 17

The new call screen is very poorly designed. When I go to slide the call screen up, I keep accidently cutting off calls. If there is not an undo button, please create one. We all make mistakes and this is one of yours.

My phone just needs to work consistently. I don’t want a phone that gets changed and no communication from Apple of changes so I am left guessing why my phone now isn’t working. I don’t want to pay big bucks for a phone anymore. There was a simple change to turn off focus and I had no idea about this feature. Every two years I don’t want to relearn my phone.


i have an iPhone 12 and it takes unnecessary photos which makes more $ for Apple iCloud. Put the home button back on the phone…seriously it was not a good idea to take it off.

I agree entirely. Change is always a bit difficult, often very difficult. I want at least 10-15% improvement for the pain of relearning the new UI. I think it was changed to accommodate pictures of my incoming callers, but I would rather not go there. If you really want to be known for user friendly software, enable us to change it back if we want.


Please never allow twenty-something developers anywhere near UIs. They simply live on a different planet from the rest of us and lack the judgement to make these decisions.

The advantage that Apple has over Microsoft is that it was user friendly and didn’t shove updates down your throats. Not sure why all these software companies don’t understand that most people don’t like change, we just want our phones to be used as phones and pc’s to be used as pc’s but here we are again, changing everything on the users. With each passing version of the iOS you are making things worse not better. Stop changing the UI, you are abandoning your customers and will lose them if you keep doing this stuff. No one wants or likes any of these updates

IOS 17.1.1 update changed a lot of settings
