Huge number of glitches since IOS got updated on my iPhone 12+ pro max

It all started in January 2024 when the auto-update happened.

  1. google maps had no idea where I was - showing 10km radius instead 10m.
  2. Google maps contstantly shows me either wrong directions or takes 1 minute to think of my location while I am already far off the point.
  3. Got into an Uber and driver had the same issue!!!
  4. today, I could not finalize my email letter because the cut and paste did not work, the typing did not work and when it did, other letters were jumping in, the formatting of letters stopped or it was going crazy!
  5. honestly, I wished my IOS was not updated as it had introduced the “time lag”, malfunction of the phone.
  6. annyone else has the same issue?

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Tile lag 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. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.
