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.

My issues lie in that suddenly all the numbers I have blocked are now able to ring through incessantly. Also, my Sleep Focus and Do Not Disturb options are completely useless. I am on night shift this month and usually have no issues with my phone not ringing through the day as I only have my immediate family and work on my always allowed contacts. Suddenly, my phone is going off every 15 minutes from telemarketers, extended warranties, etc ALL numbers I have previously blocked.

I am having the same issue here. Neither the e-sim nor the SIM card were visible. After switching the iPhone off and turning it on, it started to ask for a diagnosis. The iPhone is going wild while switching on and off the wifi option and is not working at all. Constantly refreshing for diagnosis (connecting to Apple Support).


Need help asap.

-Im having typing problems where I’ll hit one letter and it will put the letter next to it instead.

-I’ll tap an autocomplete word and it will work until I hit space bar then it will delete the part of the word it autofilled.

-I’ll tap an icon on my Home Screen the icon will dim as if it’s been touched but won’t open.

-swiping down from center opens the wrong menu

-Siri won’t register on my watch ultra until I reboot my watch and phone.

-why is there a camera button on the Lock Screen that you have to long press but the lightest barley touching left swipe opens the camera too?

Beyond frustrated. After 17.5.1 install, the photo adapter is no longer detected by the phone. using iPhone 13pro max.

right before IOS upgrade, the phone immediately detected the apple photo card reader adapter. Once install was complete, the adapter NO LONGER is detected. This annoyance + they have conveniently removed the ability to work with image capture. Not cool at all. i checked with the Apple Store genius crew member, they said there’s nothing that can be done. Suggestion to only wait for another update?? Starting to feel like apple is becoming pharmaceutical minded; aiming to fix a problem, with the side effects being a multitude of other problems you never had. Also, similarly, the constant nagging to install the update is right in line with the above referenced advertising strategy to get you HOOKED.


you should NOT be releasing updates until they have been undoubtably vetted.

I am not getting phone calls or text messages from friends and family with android phones and they are not getting my calls and texts unless I turn iMessage off but when I turn iMessage off I don’t get text messages from my friends and family that have an iPhone. This is a disaster and yes I have reported it, but that doesn’t help me today. I need a fast solution!!

...17.5.1 for Ipad requires 6.5gb of free space, that's 20% of my 32gb Ipad storage! So I removed a whole bunch of videos, pictures, and apps to free up 7+gb of space. Yet when I attempt to update to 17.5.1 the update stalls and informs me I need to free up more space. 3 attempts so far without success.


Losing 20% of storage pretty much hobbles and renders my Ipad to obsolete status!

My iPhone 13 worked perfectly on iOS 16 but after switching to iOS 17 this phone has become totally useless. I can’t use safari, google, mail and several other apps. The only apps that work constantly are messages, WhatsApp and the weather app .

once this issue is resolved I will not update my iOS again as it causes nothing but extreme agitation .

Never had issues with my old Samsung .

my 13 pro max ran as smooth as a whistle until this update. Typing barely works, it takes multiple attempts just to open my phone, everything is generally severely laggy, and Apple Music has become extremely unreliable. What was Apple thinking releasing this update??? At this rate I might just switch to android.

iPhone 12 NEW IOS 17.5.1 WiFi, Bluetooth, Personal Hotspot doesn’t work I tried factory reset network settings reset all settings reset. If it even work what happens 1 time on 30 resets iPhone crashes like 13 times then WiFi Bluetooth and hotspot are not available again. Any solution? I’ll never buy an iPhone anymore

Lightning earbuds are no longer recognized.


Sound continues to play from iPhone speakers only when lightning connector earbuds are plugged in.


None of the usual cookie-cutter ''solutions'' that people copypasta all over the place for hits are applicable.


Bluetooth does not discover any devices whatsoever.


App store does not automatically update apps.
