After iOS 17.1.1 update my iPhone apps are not working correctly

Ditto. Since the 17.1 update, group text send to the most recent number called in the address book, which includes home numbers. How insane is that? The only way I could think of to fix this was to delete the home number from my contact and create a separate contact for that person with just their home number. I don’t know if it’s going to work but we’ll find out. In addition we used to be able to delete a person from a conversation or even add a person to the conversation, but not anymore. The only way to delete is to delete and block the person from the conversation. Does that block them permanently from every other conversation? And yes, the volume thing is so irritating. The changes that Apple made to every app on the iPhone is a mess!

I showed and explained this issue to a “genius” at my local Apple Store. He seemed very confused and said he has not heard of any problems with the 17.1.1 update. Also said he could not help me as this was not a “real problem”…the screen had “not changed” even though it has…

Im beginning to suspect all Apple support techs are forbidden to acknowledge the update problems…

Per the Genius Bar at my local Apple, “there is no problem” and all the issues I showed them were very confusing to the tech specialists. Said “Apple does not fix software problems”…I asked who fixes Apple software problems, they looked at each other and said, “don’t know, probably a 3rd party…” I walked out, 2 hours later, with zero answers to all my questions.

Since update I can’t any web page to load via Safari, Facebook messenger won’t load. Phone is freezing when trying to text. Tried to reboot my phone and it got stuck and froze at the 911 screen. Main issues is I basically can’t use my phone because several apps and website no longer load. Can’t text because my screen freezes mid sentence. Can’t reboot it. No

idea how to fix this issue.

My texts are starting to freeze, too. It seems every day another issue. I use my phone at work and this have become urgent for me. Since Apple continues to ignore this widespread problem and pretend it doesn’t exist, I’m going to have no choice but to switch to android. STAT!

I’m having the opposite problem! Now, when I search something everything is so tiny, I have to enlarge everything (another step), which increases the chance of hitting a link I don’t want! All I want to do is search. Then, scroll. Just like I did before this ridiculous update! Also, when searching for products, if I click on something, instead of taking me to the product for details, a split screen automatically pops up (in tiny font) that doesn’t allow my to close or exit out of! I hate this! How do I fix it? Is it Safari or the update?

Apple people, what are you doing? Your latest update has me completely confused and frustrated! It used to be so easy to swipe up on my Apple Watch to find my phone, check my battery life, use the flashlight, etc. Now I can’t do any of those things! Why did you need to change that? I would’ve rather seen an undo in writing notes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost a particular note that I also can’t back up without resetting my entire phone. I’m trying to figure out how to find my phone and it gives me phone numbers that aren’t even mine, then when I do find my correct number it doesn’t freaking work! The last update on my watch nearly cost it to crash permanently. I can’t stand android because they are confusing enough, and now Apple apparently has done the same thing. I’m ready to sell my watch and my phone because you seem to just randomly change stuff that doesn’t need changing. I’m very unhappy and disappointed in you guys.

Does anyone else work on Zazzle, Society6 and/or Redbubble, etc? I have lost the ability to work from my phone on these sites because I cannot copy and paste. When I try, it loses the format I copied and runs everything together with %20 shoved in between every word! I'm so angry, I could spit nails!

Also, Apple does know iOS 17 is buggy. They’re not going to come out and say “Yeah, our update is super buggy”. However, they will quietly put out updates to remedy these issues over the coming months. It won’t fix everything in one release, as that would mean they would be working on it for months. Instead, they’ll fix bits and pieces over the updates. So while iOS 17.2 may not have helped some people, it likely helped someone else who was having a different issue.

17.2 was a slight improvement but it kind of reversed the problem with copy and paste. I can now copy and paste for work (thank goodness) but on other things, it is still inserting %20 in between all the words.

My pause and play buttons are working opposite. Pause is playing

play is pausing. This all started after

this update. I can’t use my earbuds

to answer phone beachside if this problem. Please correct this as soon

as possible

IOS 17 is Apple's version of Windows CE... It's terrible. All of my apps work improperly now, I lost years of valuable health data... We ended up switching to a Samsung S21 Ultra. That was the final straw for us. To Apple Developers, not sure where you weren't educated, but this OS is unacceptable! Another thing, anyone who is so paranoid about their phone's content that needs a 28 digit key, a recovery key for this, another password for that... overkill, total overkill and its annoying as ****. This NSA garbage needs an opt out for those of us who want ONE password (if requested) and that's it. We're done with this shoddy nonsense.

After my iPhone automatically updated to IOS 17, the messaging app on my Mac stopped working (not iMessage...works fine, but messages to Android, etc) . After some sleuthing, I discovered that Catalina wasn't compatible with IOS 17. The notice given was to update the Mac to a newer OS.

Here's the problem: my Mac is a late 2013. Catalina is the most recent OS the Mac can run. So it seems I have two choices: buy a new Mac, or poke out text messages on my iPhone. I realize my Mac is 10 years old, but it's still functioning flawlessly. I have installed an SSD that made a world of difference with the Mac. I am totally happy with it. Sadly, Apple seems to be pushing hardware sales (taking a page from Microsoft with their consent upgrades).

Whoever is responsible for the last 3 updates 17.1 through 17.3 has a lot of explaining to do. I have a terrible time trying to rearrange icons and working with apps because they freeze, etc. Apple has become the product to avoid like the plague.

If you were mindful enough to turn off auto-update, and make Apple ask if you want their buggy update. From here on, I will be treating new updates as beta versions. In other words, I 'll let others bug test them first.
