When you have activated a 2-step verification/Authenticator for your Microsoft Exchange/Outlook, Yahoo, Google Mail, or AOL account, it introduces an additional layer of security, preventing the use of your regular login password that you use when accessing your account through web browser. In such cases, you must generate a unique and device-specific application password for use on iOS devices.

To accomplish this, navigate to the provided link, which facilitates the creation of an iOS app-specific password. This distinct password ensures a secure and seamless connection between your iOS device and your Microsoft Exchange/Outlook account, Yahoo, Google Mail, and AOL allowing you to navigate the heightened security measures while maintaining the convenience of accessing your email and other services on your iOS device.

Have you configured POP3?

POP3 tends to use more storage on your device compared to IMAP.

Here's why:

• Storage Location: POP3 downloads emails entirely to your device, while IMAP keeps them on the server and only downloads the content when you view them. So, with POP3, the emails themselves physically reside on your phone, taking up space.
• Offline Access: Since POP3 downloads everything, you can access emails even without an internet connection. This downloaded copy uses storage space. IMAP, on the other hand, requires an internet connection to access emails because they're stored on the server.

However, this advantage of POP3 in terms of storage comes with downsides:

• Limited Accessibility: Since emails are downloaded to a single device, you can't access them from other devices like a laptop or tablet unless you download them again.
• No Synchronization: There's no synchronization between devices with POP3. If you delete an email on your phone, it won't be deleted from the server, and vice versa. This can lead to duplicate emails or confusion.
• Local Management: You can't organize emails on the server itself with POP3. You can only manage the downloaded copies on your device.

In summary, while POP3 uses less device storage, IMAP offers more flexibility and keeps your emails organized and accessible across multiple devices. If storage space isn't a major concern, IMAP is generally the preferred option for most users.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the 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.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
