IOS 17.5.1 Problems

Agree, glad I'm not only one. From the time I updated phone to now, everyday something new happens.

First my ft would take several tries to go through, but eventually would.

Then my FT stopped working completely.

Next my texts became increasingly more slow when sending to the point where now they don't send at all sometimes.

Todays problem is I'm not being given notifications and if I am it's ten minutes later. The only apps doing this are apple apps...

I have a call with tech tonight, hoping they can fix it as I can't keep lugging my computer around and kind of need to be able to reach people.

My issues seem to be minor compared to some others.

if I use the countdown timer the remaining time shows as 0:00 on the Lock Screen and after using the timer and exiting the app the timer continues to show (as 0:00) on the Lock Screen.

When listening to a podcast and looking at other podcasts under the Home tab at the same time, sometimes the minimized player won’t enlarge when I pressed on it (it’s just frozen). Also podcast played on Lock Screen doesn’t have a skip back button, only skip forward.

update:

apparently lots of discussion tik-tok about this. I disabled screen time (at the bottom of the screen time menu) and my apps finally became available again.

"siri & search" is available under "contacts" in settings - but no where else ...

Hey! If you guys are having issues with the new update or anything at all on your iPhone or any Apple device you can report it! Either you have or can download the “Feedback” app and report ANY and EVERY single issue that you find on the new or existing update. Also please do this because the more reports of the same issue will bring it to attention and be (hopefully) fixed in the next update!

Good morning, all,

I've been having this Wi-Fi issue at work for days and finally connected sucessfully after using a combination of "fixes" I found on the forum. I have been able to automatically connect on my home Wi-Fi with no issues.

1) Toggle off wifi

2) Hard restart iPhone

3) Manually enter DNS as 8.8.8.8 and toggle off "Private Wi-Fi Address"

4) Connect to Wi-FI

I hope this helps someone.

me too plus the touch screen issues gibbo431 described. Irritating on a daily basis! Come on Apple….we’ve paid too much for the phone and the service to have to put up with this nonsense constantly!! 🤬

No service, no wi-fi, cannot connect to work phone hotspot, cannot get anything going when restarting, or resetting network settings. I will get random notifications but cannot get email to load, or be able to view anything

Yeah this update is garbage. No videos load without my AirPods connected. That’s my biggest issue. I also can’t play any vids or have the phone audio up it just hisses and crackles and no sound or vid plays. I hope they fix this soon. Like soon soon. Big disappointment in this update.

Since updating to 17.5.1 some of my apps are glitchy. Some won’t load and others kick me out every time the screen shuts off. Is it a graphics issue? Example: Pinterest feed just showing blank boxes in the app. Opening it in the browser doesn’t change it. Still blank boxes. Not pleased that there isn’t a way to uninstall the update.

Same here. Constant touch screen issues. Phone worked just fine until 17.5.1 update.

Could you tell what are those touch screen issues? Which model are you using?

I am also having problems since the update - I have two email accounts linked via Mail app and both of them have issues with some emails coming through. It doesn’t appear to be a generic sync issue as it is just some emails and it appears random in respect to senders or time of the day.

I have been having issues with Face ID not recognizing me on and off since this 17.5.1 update. I am on a 14 pro. Not too thrilled with this phone to begin with. My overall battery health declined 12% in the first year owning the phone. A lot had to do with the major 17 iOS update. The Face ID started giving me problems a couple weeks ago. It can work fine for a day then start up again the next day not recognizing me. Having trouble accessing bank apps, student loan apps etc and even those website when this happens. I tried cleaning my screen off, which I didn’t think was the problem to begin with. It’s not that dirty. I tried restarting my phone several times, but it still occurs. I am reading other reports from iPhone users and realizing now it has to be 17.5.1 causing this issue and not a screen with minor finger prints on it. Waiting eagerly for the next update to fix this.

Same here for 2 people in home on Verizon. The 2 people here on ATT not having issues. Verizon store said tons of people have come in past 2 days but they do not yet know what the issue is. Our issue is specifically being able to hear the person on the other end of a call until we do a hard reboot.

Just connected with Apple support; they do not have this issue in their system yet. I pointed out this discussion and they said they have to have actual cases filed in order to see the issue - so if everyone on this would report the issue, that would help.

Like many others phones, my wife’s screen stopped working. She was just able to take it the an Apple Store to get fixed. They managed to squeeze $279 out of her to fix her screen. Their reasoning for having to fix it was “they found dog hair”. Anyone else get worked over, or attempted to be worked over?
