App issues with IOS 17.3.1

Updated iPhone 15 MAX to 17.3.1 blah blah we're all having the same problems. This is what I had to do to fix it.

Using a desktop or laptop, go to iCloud online >> track my phone>> delete information on phone. (DO NOT delete phone from your account, just delete the data on the phone). It's ask you about reporting it as lost... NO don't do that.

Next, get the cable you received when you bought your phone. You'll need to plug this into your computer (MAC preferable, but it works with PC).

On your phone >> press volume up button quickly (like a tap fast), then immediately do the same with the volume down button, then press and hold the right button until the phone shuts down.

At the same time, using the cable that came with your phone, plug into your computer.

Follow the prompts to restore your phone to the factory settings.

Your iPhone would have backup prior to the ios update.

When your phone has downloaded all the basics, you'll see the "Hello" message in various languages (like when you first got the iPhone).

Eventually you'll be asked use iCloud to restore your phone, or a different "i" device. Follow the prompts and everything will be downloaded from iCloud.

You'll have to reenter your credit /debt cards' CVV codes to use them with ApplePay.

It'll take a while to continue to restore, depending on your connection and how much data is on your phone.

Next, you may have to update your SIM. If you have an eSIM, the next step will suck even more.

You'll have to get in touch with your carrier and they'll have to issue you a new digital eSIM. It's a 20-digit-code you'll get (or they'll mail you a QR code if you want). If your carrier has a 24/7 online chat set up, you can do it that way. Hope this helps.

First time this has happened to me with any of my Apple devices. For now, they get a pass. But they need to figure out a solution because obvs this update has caused serious problems for a lot of people.

Some have suggested turning off your phone for about 30 seconds. That didn't work for me. I had to do a factory reset of mine. If you have an eSIMM you'll need to get a new one because resetting your phone also deletes the digital eSIM information. Make sure you back up your phone to iCloud.

I don't know if this will help but, If you have a VPN, turn it off restart and see if that fixes the problem.

To fix the outlook notifications you need to turn notification previews for Outlook in settings

Turn your phone off for 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

You’re welcome.

On mine I had to hit the up volume then down volume and hold the Lock Screen button to reboot my phone. I have the iPhone 15 plus

We've identified that certains Apps loses FaceID, Location, Push Permissions and others... you've to open for asking again and confirm.

Rebooted my phone and closed all apps and reopened. I don’t think we had the same issue though. I thought this was a forum for all update bugs. I was having an issue with listening to any sort of audio while being on a phone call at the same time

As soon as I installed the 17.3.1 update I have not been able to get sound on Facebook or tiktok or even Spotify after 20 minutes of scrolling and have to keep restarting my phone and my phone calls only work with speaker

iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. App issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors.

I updated my iPhone to iOS 17.3.1 and now my phone is locked with the "Software Update Your iPhone has been updated to iOS 17.3.1" and no matter what I do, I can't get the screen to go and allow me to reboot or enter my pin to access my phone. This is so frustrating. I tried support provided the device number, and then amazing, I'm disconnected. I'm lucky I had my old phone to insert my SIM into, and am so angry. I won't be updating software in the future, too much hassle, and can't see how to fix it online, so will need to go to Vodafone or iPhone store this week to hopefully resolve the issue. **** PHONE !!

I’m updating my phone to this software now and my phone screen is pitch black. I’ve tried a force restart and my phone won’t turn on! I’m panicking. How can I turn my phone on when I can’t see the screen. I’ve switched chargers too.

I'm also stuck in SOS mode after the update. My wifes personal phone (also AT&T on same plan) is fine and her work iphone that uses Verizon is fine as well. Despite the CNN article I would bet this is update related.
