iOS 18 Control Center and Lock Screen Bug

There is a super frustrating issue after I updated to iOS 18 today (iPhone 15 Pro Max)


I can’t customize my control center or Lock Screen without my phone crashing—removing a button seems to work but trying to add one immediately makes the screen black, give a white spinning wheel, and then brings me back to the Lock Screen again. It happens every time and I’m unable to customize anything!


I’ve seen other people who updated having this issue today as well but as of yet no solutions/fixes. Please help!

I truly can't believe it but... this fixed it for me too. I changed my region to another English speaking region (British Virgin Islands) and then right back to the United States and now I can change the buttons! It's very slow/laggy but at least it is working!


Thank you! Hopefully Apple releases a proper fix for this bug in the next version or in a hot fix before 18.1.

It's not clear to me how your problems are related to Control Center & Lock Screen. You may want to start your own thread with a subject line that describes your specific problem. Also include information about what model iPhone you're using.

ayania ~ The long process of applying an iOS update to an old iPhone with a weak battery can be the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." So...


Does your iPhone 11 Pro still have its original battery?


And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...
