Apps don’t work after updating to iOS 18.1.1

Most apps on my iPad seem to work, but I noticed that in Safari, I cannot checkout when I choose PayPal. There is no way to continue the checkout process, so it is stopping the PayPal process due to some new setting that is in place, but I don’t know what it is (blocking pop ups? Stopping some other process that I need to uncheck?)

I did not wish anything to change especially when time is short. All I wanted to do was charge my phone overnight as usual. Now I hate my phone. My photos that I took time to put into albums and were easily found is a mess. My school app doesnt recognize my password. I cant easily find my search engine and google has taken over my phone!

You may wish that as much as you want. The reality, though, is that everything changes. Consumer technology changes faster than a lot of things.

Learn to customize Photos:

Customize the Photos app on iPhone - Apple Support

My school app doesnt recognize my password.

That's a problem with your school app. Contact whoever is the administrator at your school.

I cant easily find my search engine and google has taken over my phone!

Search engines are accessed through a browser. Are you saying you can't access Safari? Which search engine are you using? Google? Yahoo? Bing? Something else?

Google could only have taken over your phone if you downloaded Google apps. If you don't want them on your phone, delete them.

Sketchbook doesn’t work right since the update. It’s lagging and freezes up. I’ve already deleted the app then reinstalled it…..same problem.

You should let the developers of the app know.

Apple doesn't own the Sketchbook app. Contact the app developer to see what they plan to do to make the app work properly on iOS 18.1.1. Apple can't do anything with someone else's app at all.

message app - it worked early this morning. After 11 am it would not let me send a text. I notice that I had not received any text since 11 am. I would open the app and it would freeze. It would not let me scroll to look at all text. After doing what was suggested by the help chat on AT&T app - the app now will not pull up anything. It is completely blank. I spent a lot of time with an agent/specialist in the chat. I answered all his questions. He couldn’t figure it out. He didn’t return the disconnected call after saying he would. Very frustrating. I can’t ever go into the settings and click on message. It will freeze everything.

My banking app (TheCitizensBankofPhila) doesn’t work. It started about a month ago and when you click on it, it try’s to open and goes back to main screen (Home Screen where apps are). So they told me to delete it and redownload, I did. Same thing keeps happening. They told me contact my carrier (AT&T) but I didn’t. Can’t understand their foreign accents.

Pease contact the support team at the thermostat manufacturer. If their device isn’t connecting to WiFi, that’s a thermostat issue.

You might try restarting your router and cable modem first. You can try restarting the thermostat by removing the battery, lastly try turning your iPhone off and back on. God luck!

When I awoke this morning, the Fitbit Luxe would not synch with my iPhone 15 Pro. I tried turning the iPhone off and on, turning Bluetooth notifications off and on, turning Bluetooth off and on, unpairing and repairing Bluetooth, all to no avail. I finally deleted the Fitbit app and reinstalled it and that did the trick. Wasted about an hour of my time.

Resideo - my home thermostat cannot connect to WiFi . It doesn’t shore up as an app asking to have access too local network under privacy

Try deleting and re-installing it. When you first launch it after reinstalling, you should get the option to give it permissions. I know for a fact it works under iOS 18.1.1 as I use it.

Facebook (Meta) needs to update WhatsApp. It has know issues being reported across multiple social media platforms.

What happens when you try to download from App Store?

What country are you in? What is the issue with KBC Mobile?

so far iMessage, Amazon Music and Amazon’s Alexa apps aren’t working for me. they all work on my home wifi but not using cellular when away from home. texts all being sent sms and taking forever to deliver.

This update has been a nightmare- several basic features no longer work, they seem to have decided that organizing anything is no longer necessary, apps are crashing or won’t open at all, it just keeps getting worse the more I try to do

What "basic features" no longer work? Unless you explain what problems you're having, it will be hard for anyone to help you. The vast majority of people who update to iOS 18.1.1 are not having major issues. If you are, it is likely that there's something else going on. If you explain what's happening to you without assuming the cause, someone may be able to help you through it.

I am having issues with text messages not being able to send on both WIFI or cellular data. I cannot connect to the app store or most of my apple logins.

I am not using a VPN, I force restarted multiple times.
