There are various issues on my iPhone since updating to iOS 17.4.1

This new updates seems to have too many bugs, instead of fix. Wi-Fi won’t work. None of the apps open, just keep getting black screen, phone overheating, draining battery faster than charging, can’t access shared iCloud pictures, can not FaceTime. Safari is just blank page. Restarted Wi-Fi, phone, apps, but NOTHING WORKS!!! Can’t surf at all, games are blank too…. Need immediate fix!!!!

It seems they resurrected a bug from about 8 years ago. Playing iTunes via Bluetooth in my car, a call came in and the music was paused like it should be. After the call, the music resumed but at the lowest volume. Now Bluetooth and iTunes is very flaky. With shuffle on, I sometimes have to hit play after one song finishes or the music doesn't continue. Or there is a 20 or 30 second delay between songs, even though it shows connected. Didn't anyone test this dog of a release?

Contacts have been erased, I've restarted 4 times, some of the apps won't even load on the home screen, none of my messages have the names with the numbers. First time I restarted the phone froze and wouldn't finish loading. Managed to get into settings and shut it down that way. What an absolute mess. Probably the worst update experience ever. Battery is drained and won't fully charge, text messages when you open them make the "message sent" sound without even typing anything. FIX THIS NOW!

Same here!! I have a iphone 11, since my update my mobile data is saying its turned off when its not. I even restarted it. As well my wifi isn't connecting but connects to all other devices in the house. I forced restarted my phone multiple times and no change at all. Phone was working just fine and here I am in a day after my update and I'm having these problems. Also just paid my phone bill so I have all new data and everything.

I haven’t been able to use cellular data, personal hotspot setting is missing, and blurred out on the control centre, no option for cellular network settings, at least to attempt to do a manual configuration. I contacted my network provider, and they’ve tried everything, all to no avail, I updated my sim card, my network provided tried to send a configuration but that didn’t go through. When I inserted my sim into another non apple device, the configuration came through. So it’s the phone and I use and iPhone 14 plus, all these issues just after I updated my iOS to the 17.4.1

I have an XR running on this new update and I tried every recommendation from support to no avail. Can’t download apps-stay in circle mode, can’t update apps -stuck on waiting, can’t empty app cache, can’t get proper wifi connection but mostly my iPhone is now irrelevant without apps/slow connection.

I am beyond furious.

I’m having trouble sending videos, even when I edit them down, I get an error saying it’s not working, I can’t send them on any other apps either, I’ve tried discord and snap and the second I attempt to send my gaming videos to friends, the apps crash. I’ve restarted my phone, disconnected from WiFi and reconnected, tried using mobile data, and still NOTHING IS WORKING! I really hope Apple gets on this quickly because it’s starting to really irritate me.

Front (Selfie) camera remains black. Even third party apps are not recognizing the camera. FaceID isn’t working because of camera malfunction. Flashlight turns off automatically after few seconds. I have contact the apple support and followed their instructions. I have already fully reset few times even using iTunes. There is no difference. Still same.(IP12)

My battery is draining at record speed and while it charging the screen gets so hot I can’t touch it! Apps are freezing all the time. Trying to access the internet is like living in 1990 again with dial up! Even when connect to WiFI ~ I have deleted and off loaded stuff this is beyond frustrating. I didn’t choose to update this time my phone just did the update even though I have it setup not to automatically update. My phone isn’t even a year old I got it literally 7 months ago so it not the age of the phone. I am dropping calls, call quality is horrible, text take forever to go through and in general it’s as if we took a giant 20+ years step backwards in technology 🤦‍♀️ please fix ASAP ~ I can’t not continue this way!!
