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!!!!

Check that person’s Find My app. My husband’s phone updated and wiped out everyone in the Find My app and added back in some old phones he had previously listed. I could still see him in the app on my phone,but it could never find him after the update. It never gave me any message that he was no longer sharing either. After we set his Find My app back up it started working again for me.

I have recently gotten the iPhone SE 3 (2022) months prior and it was absolutely fine when I had first gotten it, no software issues, no bugs etc, although ever since I had installed the iOS 17.4.1 software update it has been having a few issues that include my music playing on its own if I have it turned off and just the app running in the background, paused and everything, and just tonight I had just come across another bug where it had activate Siri randomly out of nowhere while I’m listening to my music. (for a bit of extra information, I do not use Apple Music I prefer the SoundCloud app instead.) is there anything I can do to lessen these bugs, or do I just have to wait for Apple themselves to solve these issue’s in due time?

Would be better if you gave more info on what it took to actually fix the issue so others don't have to go through all the times figuring it out. My 12 went through all the issues described in the posts before and after yours and it took several hours to get it up and working again. For me my phone is critical as it is necessary for Insulin and blood sugar control. I have no idea how I got it working other than I kept trying things repeatedly and finally it did a reboot and woke up in the proper mode. The only issue remaining is the time and date display on the lock screen are nearly unreadable and cannot be changed. What has happened to the reliability Apple is reputed to have?

the thing is my phone started having glitches regarding screen and even if I connected to good wifi it shows that I could not start my iCloud video. I am really embarrassed that apple have re launch new update 17.4.1 I am hoping to see good things coming from them.

else that's why people are choosing Samsung over apple. I hope good to apple but now I don't have enough faith on apple.

Thanks for this. It seems to have solved the problem on my iPhone. I'll have to see if it will work on my iPad. For the last two-plus weeks since installing 17.4.1 on my iPhone and iPad, I have not been able to open a lot of programs. iA Writer, Ulysses, Runestone, Scriptable, Taio, PDF Expert, Documents and others...


Force Restarting would sometimes work on the first attempt to open some of the apps but would fail on the second. Reinstalling apps did not help either.


Initially, upgrading to 21E237 didn't help until after I did a Force Restart.

Phone 13 updated 17.4.1


Waking up the phone after automatic sleep both the WiFi and Bluetooth are not connected. I lose the ability to use my Widex hearing aids as well as the connection to my car for hands-free use. I have found that I have to power down the phone and restart. Then I have to "pair" my hearing aids, car, and computer again from scratch.

My issue is that every day I have another new issue. First was the alarm clock still going off but not making noise or vibrations, so its not doing its job thanks to yall changing the settings. The next issue is my siri works every other time when i want it to open an app or call someone. Now my contact names aren't showing up in my recent calls or on my face time. And the other new issue of the day is now all of a sudden whatsapp and Facebook Messenger needs new permission to access my microphone from my settings but there is no microphone setting to turn on. So now my very expensive phone is utterly useless when i could have just switched back to android a long time ago and not dealt with any of these issues. Count your days Apple because this is ridiculous

Ever notice whenever there’s an update, some good features disappear and are replaced with bad ones. Twice my phone refuses to alert on incoming text messages. Tried everything both times. Don’t remember what fixed it the first time—something about Bluetooth and the Apple Watch. This time uninstalled the watch and turned Bluetooth off. That didn’t fix it. The only solution that will work for me is to dump all info from the phone into a large hard drive. Of course, Apple won’t let you copy and paste or transfer all your data to another storage device, but I can take screen shots and enter it manually. THEN run over the iPhone with my truck and just continue using my antique Samsung Galaxy Note 5, which has NEVER frustrated me as Apple stuff does. How I regret giving Apple thousands of dollars for enherently designed products built around a platform of planned obsolescence.
