Many apps not working after IOS update 17.6

Has anyone else encountered problems with their apps after the latest IOS 17.6 update? Many of my 3rd party apps will no longer load. They simply exit seconds within being loaded. Also, 17.6 update problems are not limited to 3rd party apps. On Notes, photos previously embedded in my notes now show up as grey squares like so:

The same problem also applies on iPadOS

iPad, iOS 10

First try a forced restart, if that doesn't work reinstall the app. If that doesn't work contact the app developer for help with their software. It is up to the app developer to make sure their software works with the latest operating systems.


Try a forced restart.

• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Successfully Deleting a Shortcut on an iPhone:

A. Close All Apps:

These Apps may not be responding. So, save what need be, and then close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up form the bottom-left corner of your screen. Then, close all of these open apps, by sweeping up quickly for all apps.


B. Perform a Force Restart:

Try Force Restarting your iPhone. Save any information that need be. Then perform the restart. See if you can then perform this. Go Here: Force Restart iPhone - Apple Support

My Sirius XM app is the one that quit working for me. So far everything else seems to work properly. Spoke to Sirius customer service yesterday and they know there's a problem with the update. Supposed to call me back today (8-7-24) with a fix, I hope. Will advise.


BTW, force restart and app delete/reload doesn't help either. Tried both about 50 times 😂.

My phone obviously automatically updated last night, now none of my apps are working. All of them say that I need to give access to the camera, but then it takes me to the settings and the camera option is nowhere to be seen. Literally has never done this before but nonstop and having problems with my brand new iPhone die hard Apple years never a different type of phone and at this point I’m really thinking about getting something different. This is ridiculous. I do social media, so this is an actual burden to my livelihood.
