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.

Updated my iPhone to iOS 17.5.1 and now my microphone doesn’t work on my 3rd party apps. Such as Messenger, Tik tok, and Snapchat. And only works on the apps that came on the phone like maps, camera and the phone connected to Bluetooth. I’ve enabled everything, reset the settings in my phone, restored my phone didn’t didn’t have it backed up so here we are.😁 Also Face ID doesn’t want to work half the time and it won’t pop up my notifications on some apps like my email. Very over it lol.

Here are my issues about this update. My phone was top tier before this bug came around

-It keeps shutting off randomly

-The volume acts weird sometimes and gets super low even though I have it at full volume.

-Siri is unresponsive, even when Siri activates it doesn’t hear what I’m saying no matter how clear I speak.

-The battery does seem to drain fast.

-The brightness gets too low at the worst times. One time it got too low when I needed the gps- dangerous.

After 17.5.1 I am having issues with bluetooth. Both my Shokz OpenRun Pro headset and my Toyota Camry Hybrid (2012) looses connection. Sometimes it will connect again after a restart and other times it doesn't. I have quite often resort to restart the phone multiple times to get it to re-pair if it won't reconnect and then it loses connection after a day or so. Sometimes a re-pair doesn't work and just gives an error to make sure the device is on. The phone sees it but selecting the device in the bluetooth settings just gives that error. Restart the phone again and then it will pair... until it looses connection when I turn the bluetooth device on again at some future time.

I have an SE and haven’t noticed any other problems other than I can no longer connect to HDMI Lightning adaptor. YouTube streams fine but I can’t play any other streaming service through my phone. Had this problem once and the new update fixed it now with this one it’s gone again. So frustrating!

I have my husband pinned in my messages and since the update, I can no longer call or facetime him... the icons are completely grayed out.

Some of my apps don't work, for example, I stream of Sirius XM and sometimes, when the screen turns off, the music stops as if the screen going dark pauses the app.

I also have weird connection issues. I work from home and sometimes the phone disconnects from my wifi.

There is also a time lag. The time might be 1030 on my computer but my phone shows the time from the last opening.


Very frustrating.

Since the update my phone has basically stopped working! It reboots literally every couple of minutes and the back of it is very hot. Battery now drained.


Your phone has a hardware problem that will require service.


Make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop.
