IOS 17.5.1 Problems

My phone keeps shutting off every 3-5 minutes since this update (17.5.1) has been installed. The cellar and wifi connection takes a while to reconnect after my phone shuts off. I’m at 94% while writing this.

Anyone having problems with bluetooth and car stereo sound? Up until the OS update, I connected via Bluetooth to my car stereo and was able to play my library of Apple Music. After the update, the bluetooth connects and I can see Apple Music playing but no sound. Same issue with the Sirius XM app. Radio and regular Sirius XM works fine.

I have restrictions set on our devices that don't allow installation of apps. Ever since the 17.5.1 update whenever I try to enable the app store (allow installation of apps from screentime), the app store pops up and immediately disappears, and am unable to find it. Anyone else having this issue?

The problem I encountered after updating to IOS 17.5.1 my trusted devices lists is not available. Any help is greatly appreciated from Apple. I informed my spouse not to upgrade yet until all these issues are fixed by Apple. So annoying!

I updated my 13Pro yesterday, and today I noticed that the Haptics (vibrate) only works on certain apps and sounds. My call ringtone only works half the time, so I rely on the vibration to alert me. Also, I noticed that the vibration suddenly doesn’t work on my iWatch SE. Any help in plain English for this old lady would be appreciated!

Iphone SE. Primarily touch screen problems - start typing a word, stops responding. Spent 10 minutes just trying to restart the phone as the screen would not respond.

Unacceptably poor performance! One would think there is adequate testing in place prior to release!

Submitted a bug report. I have not had an Apple brick before, but this is coming close to that.

I upgraded last night to 17.5.1 but now can’t turn IPad off. Tried Power+VolumeUp (my standard power-off) and screen goes blank but after about 20 seconds, it boots-up again, without option to power-down completely. Tried Volume, Volume, Power and same general thing (maybe different timing): it shows Apple logo and powers-up again, automatically. Tried Settings, General, Shut Down and, after a satisfying but deceptive shutter-style click, reveals that it’s still On. How do I get this to power-down? If it’s unplugged, I don’t want it to drain the battery. This is a pretty basic need.

So it seems that the problem is more nuanced than I originally thought. The problem described above (about turning iPad off) was encountered when iPad was plugged in. If I unplug the iPad, I can turn it off completely. However, to turn it back on you have to hold the Power button down for many seconds. This boot-up issue is only very slightly annoying. But the plugged-in Refuses-to-power-off problem is still annoying. I can’t see why Apple would design this into their product. Should shut down if it’s told to Shut Down, regardless of plug-in status.

Same here. My touch screen is always blocking and not responding correctly. Sometimes it also open apps and do things by its own. Always rebooting the phone to try to minimize issue.. need urgent fix!

Since IOS 17.5 and 17.5.1 updates Siri will no longer play my playlists. It’s not Apple Music, it’s my personal library. Every time I ask Siri to play or shuffle a playlist, the response is always the same “Looks like Apple Music can’t play that.” I’ve resorted to manually starting my music when I get in the car, and can’t change playlists while driving because of this problem.

my Wi-Fi won’t connect! I get this error message: “Unable to join network”and show the network name under.

I’ve used the same network for more than a year. It also shows the strongest signal. I know it works because I’ve been watching Netflix today.

Any thoughts or help?

Yes!!!

I thought maybe I broke my phone? Or something else maybe a virus?? But this morning my phone randomly shut off and took about 15 mins to start back up, afterwards my face id wouldn’t work, i can’t access my camera in things like snapchat or insta, and on top of that my calendar doesn’t work at all! All of the things on my calendar are gone with no way of fixing it… i tried to add something to my cal and it said “this app does not have access to your calendar” and when i go to my settings there is no way to allow access (Same with camera/mic permissions)

I have no clue what to do!

Does anybody know what to do? Or can anyone provide an update?

This update is a pain right now. I’m having issues with the following:

1. Touch screen sometimes works, and sometimes not.
2. I could not connect to my car speaker as it has not had issues in the past.
3. I tried to reboot but it won’t shut off.

WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE???

Same here!! My phone is crashing all of a sudden.. cuts on and then cuts off .. went from 40% to 10% back to 40 and then back to 10.. I go to my settings, my phone shuts off.. the volume levels keep going up and down regardless of them actually being turned all the way up.. my phone was fine until this update.. Apple needs to fix this ASAP.. we pay a lot for these phones!!

Grrr I’m also having issues and I’m ******. Many of my apps don’t work or freeze, I can’t even load the App Store to check for updates! Is there a way to rollback the update? I’ve had an iPhone for 15 years now but I’m so frustrated with the poor camera quality and now a slew of issues that shouldn’t have happened and I’m seriously considering switching to an android as soon as this contract is over. Apple’s quality has gone down in recent years.
