IOS 17.5.1 Problems

Phone was dandy until I did iOS 17.5.1 update last night. I just got off phone with Apple Technical Support, no solutions as of now. Here’s a list of problems now:

  1. Dropping WiFi A LOT throughout day, 5 min on, then off, repeat
  2. Turning off WiFi, still couldn’work online using 5G
  3. Text and email notifications not working at all, banners nor sound
  4. When WiFi was working during day, I’d send email to myself to check, emails sat in OutBox until I waited 5-10 min then I’d go back to OutBox and push it through a second time. It would then go through

Very concerned I’m not getting important incoming emails.

I haven’t even checked yet if my photos have been messed up like others are reporting (which 17.5.1 was supposed to fix from previous update that caused photo issues)


My internet company is not having issues. My phone provider Verizon isn’t having issues.


This must be iOS huge mistakes. Nothing is related to each other, the only common denominator is 17.5.1

Yep same here, although I’m also having touch screen issues.

I’m constantly having to reboot my phone so that it works again.

before I updated to 17.5.1 version also iPhone just started behaving weird. Touch responses are bad, calls getting cut, applications getting hung . I can’t open outlook on my phone - it opens and then closes out. Touch responses seems like I have used up all the space on the phone . I am using iPhone 13 mini . We need a software update with all the issues resolved asap. This phone is being unreliable at this point of time . I took iPhone thinking that that software wouldn’t be patchy but now it’s totally patchy and unreliable at the moment. Please help !

After the last update to iOS 17.5.1, the message settings have changed to store for a period of 1 month. I have lost all older messages. I see that there are more than 6000 stored in ICloud, but I can't restore them on the phone. Also yesterday the ringer volume was turned all the way down from the settings menu without my intervention.

Mobile Data issue fixed.



I have fixed this issue, go to settings-> cellular > cellular data options > click on data roaming > there will be option of voice > click on it and deselect LTE. Also under cellular data options turn off “Limit IP address tracking” .

It worked! Pathetic iPhone testers! I am using iphone 11, ios 17.5.1, Jio 4G physical sim.

Rumor is the Weather App itself is down right now; it’s probably not related to the iOS software update.


Other problems might be; I think it depends on phone model a bit. We have 2 iPhone SE3s here, one on 17.5.1 for several days without issues and one still on 17.4.1 (delay in updating.) Both have Weather “unavailable” right now.

I did have an email problem. Same story. Reinstalled the email app and problem solved.


My biggest problem is the Contact and Calendar applications. Multiple duplications of reminders. Soon as I rectify, then when the phone is reconnected to wifi, the same duplications reappear but have an additional quantity added.


The Contacts list is a nightmare. I have now 11k of multiple same contacts. Somebody sends me a WhatsApp call and it says “Contact Name or 123 others.” So according to the sm platform that namesake is repeated 123 x. I initially tried some apps to remedy the duplication, it sorted the contacts list, but the next day, the same nonsense occurred. Turfed the app and tried on line help from some well known 3rd party assistance. No luck.


So here I am seeking help. Anybody?


PS: Then lastly my typing area changes colour from time to time, I can live with this.

Just figure out another problem: After I accidentally disallowed "Installing Apps" on Content & Privacy Restrictions, The App Store disappeared.


So I tried to allow "Installing Apps" based on online sources, but the App Store still now back...


Really feel Apple now turn into another Microsoft: Fix most bugs in previous version of its system, but introduce even more bugs..

Just tried factory reset my iPhone to solve the problem, then waste my time to restore back up...


For the first time in my 14 years Apple product experience, I need to factory reset my device to fix a product. Apple, seriously?

After updating my phone to 17.5.1 my phone starting acting weird. I started getting calls from my “boyfriend” but when I answered it would go to his voicemail. The same thing is happening to him where he is receiving calls from “me” but when answered it goes to voicemail. In all of these instances we were not trying to call one another and there is nothing on our call logs indicating we were calling. After research it said it could be spoofing my number but it seems unlikely that it would be doing it to the both of us and not just one of us.

Unlike others, I have an IPad and since the update I cannot log into my Gym's member page since the update. It just keeps saying, "Please wait while we craft your experience" and nothing happens. They use something called "EME login", not sure what that stands for. Have never had this problem before.

I'm havin' a heck of time since the update. I have a 2nd gen SE and ever since the 17.5.1 update, I cannot send text messages... my keyboard works only on the left side and even then it's inconsistently... I also cannot log into app store or apple ID. IDK if my phone needs to be replaced or what... but this is EXTREMELY inconvenient.
