Issues with iOS 17.3.1

Hi, so yesterday I updated my iPad Air (4th Gen) to iOS 17.3.1.

After updating, I noticed that when opening Chrome, or X(Twitter), it would freeze almost immediately and then forcibly restart itself. I also had this issue with Safari and the App Store but it was less frequent and only when I tried to search something. The issue with Safari and the App Store has stopped, but Chrome and X(Twitter) continue to not work. I have tried many things to fix this, like restarts, force restarts, deleting the app and re-downloading it; yet nothing has worked. I’m thinking maybe it is something to do with the update?

If anyone can help, I’d really appreciate it.

iPad, iPadOS 15

I updated to the new update and I can’t connect to mobile Internet or wifi properly. I can’t use apps that require connectivity. Can someone fix this! It’s frustrating!

  1. My iPhone 15 plus had been trying to do the update for a couple of days and said it would do it last night so I decided to hit the install now. Worst mistake I ever made. My phone is now locked. Whenever I try to get into the phone to put code to unlock main screen I can't. It doesn't recognize the screen is being touched. I have tried to hard reset so many times without success. It also doesn't recognize it being plugged in to charge. Have to use charging pad to just charge. Never had any issues until this update. I use my phone for work purposes to clock in and do nursing notes and now thanks to this update I can't even do that. Apple needs to fix issues real fast and those of us that have been effected by this update should be compensated for the lost use of our electronic devises because while they are not working we are still have to pay our carriers for the service/plans that we have for a non-working device. Someone messed up big on this update and should have to answer for their mistake.

very similar issues for me. iPad M1 Pro, and as soon as I updated to 17.3.1 Safari started freezing, as well as any other browser I’ve tried, also email, and other apps that require internet connectivity—I have tried disabling private relay, deleting and reinstalling apps, tweaking Safari settings… nothing fixes it, and it’s incredibly annoying. I have to close and re-open my browser several times every time it freezes, and I lose all my tabs, and I never had any problems before the update.

after my iphone got automatically updated, it’s no longer accepting my homescreen passcode! I kept trying until it got to try after one hour then i left it for like a day not trying; then, just wanted to give it another try, i typed the passcode and it got unlocked! Then it went back to the same problem… my correct home-screen passcode is being denied.. This is a big lag actually i dont want to reset my phone for such a problem i am not part of.. i hope i can get help and by the way, anyone facing this replay
