iPhone not working after 17.2.1 update

After having been told NOT to update IOS 17.2.1; I forgot to close the “automatic update” button. The next morning, I found out that, most of my contacts that had photos to describe who they were HAD all been DELETED, and Replaced with the first letter of their last name. While typing out messages, other letters were being added to the word and underlined(?)

When to what to add a photo to a contact, after you click on the photo, it sends you to your photos, but they are “posters”! NOT individual photos…

After the update I am unable to pair my Apple Watch to my phone (that was paired before this update), all of my notification settings have be reset, & it’s telling me to re-sign into my AppleID but not letting me…very very frustrating!

There has to be a way of making Apple replace our phones and fix this issue. I was told to take it to Best Buy in December when the issue started, right after installing 17.2.1, they ran diagnostic and said the exact same thing

Since doing the 17.2.1 update my phone has been acting very weird. My side buttons are not working! I cannot take screen shots, I cannot turn the volume up and down using these buttons and I find that the touch screen is delayed or will not work at all.. WTF is the update ???????

I called my carrier last night and yelled at them about it and suddenly since I got in the car to drive for work everything is fine! They claimed it’s Apple but I yelled at them how I’ll def make sure everyone hears how they don’t provide what they say for service. Then it’s all fine! I’ve been driving with Bluetooth on and usb plugged in and music from all apps work in the car as well as maps and texts and calls. I began driving over 5 hours ago. So perhaps yell at your carrier

Hi there! I’m having trouble understanding how to fix the problem, basically the end part of your comment. Is there any way you could be a little more specific or possibly dumb this down a little for me? So sorry! Thank you so much in advance if you see this!

I'm so sad about what the ios 17 update has done to my iPhone 13, which was previously working perfectly. It now randomly slows to a crawl, apps start crashing, especially the camera app which now tends to crash as soon as I hit the button to take a photo. My quick and dirty workaround for this is to do a screenshot instead of hitting the "take photo" button. Safari now gives multiple "a problem repeatedly occurred when loading this webpage" errors. Chrome is no better. Every so often the screen goes black and a little white spinner appears. If someone texts me while this is happening, I don't get the text (and it never arrives, even after rebooting the phone). During the night it often starts to make that "beep" sound every minute or so that normally indicates that you have plugged in a charger, and I have to reboot the phone to stop this. I really wish I could go back down to ios16 but this is impossible. I'm assuming that what I will need to do is to get a new phone, which I can't help thinking may be Apple's plan.

I am with you too bro my mom’s iPhone 12 Pro Max and my iPhone 11 have been having severe battery draining issues and our phones are brand new with 100% battery health (we do not use our phones that much) after the update my phone will be at 77% and then go off and come on at 10% or not come on at all it’s frustrating and we really need a fix

Update 17.2.1 installed last night and my iphone 14 has frozen. Touch screen does not work and attempting to restart it makes a call to emergency services. I can't attempt any of the solutions when my iphone wont respond. AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHH!

On the upside I can at least stop alarms using Apple watch.

Just bought a new iPad 10.9 iPad, A14 Bionic Processor, iPadOS, WiFi, Silver.

Setup went well until Software Update iPadOS 17.2 was installed. Now no connectivity to the Internet and cannot complete the download of by Backup from the iCloud. ????????

Found this site and realise this problem has been known about since December 2023. Surely apple providers must be aware of this problem from their cusrtomers and are complaining to APPLE. We need a fix NOW.

After updating to 17.2.1 facing network issue on iphone 12.

Did not get solve by all method of restoring and erasing. been asked to visit customer care and charges I have to bear.

Why? You asked me to update and all this issues ? seriously

I'm experiencing the same. My iphone 14 pro max was just released after having been repaired by the service center under its warranty. 5 days after receiving the unit, the phone can no longer connect to my service provider. I have tried resetting and restarting the unit but nothing changed.

How did yours get fixed?

Im having the same issue. Uber and a ton of apps no loner work. Safari is super slow and half my passwords were erased (14 pro max)… nothing works… it reminds me of old time Microsoft updates… whats next? A blue screen crash?

Will they fix those cellular network connective problems WiFi problems etc in iOS 17.3 when it come out?

it goes from 3 to 4 bars sometimes it goes from 4 bars to 3 bars sometimes disconnects for 10 -30 seconds then reconnects

Following issues I am facing with 17.2.1 update:

1) select photo in library n share click on WhatsApp/other app doesn’t respond

2) Select Photos and share in mail, while click on send icon, option was shown previously for small, medium n large attachment, but presently it’s showing only Large option

any solution for above issues, since I am facing lots of inconvenience
