iPhone 11 not working anymore after iOS 17.4.1.

No more message app and no access to Safari since update to iOS 17.4.1. Its says on Settings that some iCloud data isn't sync. All the apps I had installed have disappeared. I have no access to the App Store either. Only thing left are my wallet, email box (can only see it, can't open the mails or write any) and photo library. Built-in apps are still there and works. My library is still accessible and I can still take photos and videos. FaceTime doesn't work either and I can't place or receive a phone call. I still have plenty of storage on my 2 TB storage account. Any idea on how to fix this.

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.
