I updated my iOS to 18.1.1 on my iPhone pro max 16 last night and this morning I’d say about 80% of my apps refuse to open. Reinstalling doesn’t seem to solve the issue. Causing me major issues as I can’t open my banking apps to verify transactions. Can anyone tell me how to roll back my iOS update or if there is a fix?

That’s the issue. Bank in particular won’t operate if VPN is detected. It doesn’t need to be activate or even used.
Delete VPN, VPN profile in Settings and any VPN software. Then reset network settings. Then do a forced restart of you iPhone.
Jf you need instructions for resetting network settings or forced restart let me know.
You may need to delete the apps, download again and log into apps again.

I’m glad to hear the issue is resolved. Ifs very odd so many banking apps needed to be deleted and reinstalled. I still suspect it’s ultimately related to VPN usage/profile. VPN is the scammers best friend.
Still it’s great you’re all set and I hope you have a great week.
After you updated, did you Force Restart your iPhone (something I do after every iOS update) --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Do you have a good connection to Wifi and/or Cellular Data? And no, you cannot downgrade iOS as it's not supported.
Thanks. Also spoke to apple support who just told me to delete apps and reinstall and they seem to be working again. Appreciate your advice and help.
Rebooted 3 times. There are no apps that require updating. So far some of the apps that won’t open are DBS Banking, OCBC banking, LinkedIn , ANZ, Citibank SG, sleep cycle. The ones that work are discord, Instagram and X.
Yep force restarted 3 times. Wifi no issues. Cell signal is strong. Strange thing is some of the apps did work earlier but then now it seems like more are failing to open. The only 2 other things I did were buy an e-sim for the first time and backup my iPhone for the first time onto a MacBook

The original poster's issue was probably a VPN, not any Apple updates.
Apple makes their iOS updates available to developers months before they are released so that they can test their apps. But Apple cannot force them to update them.
Hi , sorry to jump on but I’m having the same trouble since stupidly updating on Saturday night! Spent most of Sunday trying to sort this out including contacting support and senior support phoning me. There only answer was to go back to my last back up through a computer. I don’t have a computer that I can use. No Apple stores near to me. Tried all of their suggestions, forcing reboot, deleted one app and tried to reinstall but just get the wheel of doom!
Should I try deleting all apps, then force a reboot and try again? I’ve been so peeved off that I’ve ordered a new iPad however the one that has been left pretty much unusable by the update was perfectly ok prior to the update.
I’m a lot less HappyCatHertfordshire than I was before the update, broken iPad and bank balance.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Did you try rebooting the phone and/or updating your apps in the Apps application?
Please name several apps that are not working? In what way aren’t they working?
Forgot to mention. When I open the title screen flashes for a second then it disappears back to home. Shutting the app and trying again doesn’t work.
This is above my pay grade
Do you think the Genius Bar would be able to help?
Odd you haven’t named a single app like I requested. Apple will want to know too so please figure out what apps aren’t working.
I thought I did at 510pm in a reply to you?
Apps don’t work after updating to iOS 18.1.1
