Apps don’t work after updating to iOS 18.1.1

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?

Just updated to 18.1.1. The vast majority of my apps start to open, then the icon disappears and does not start. Don't have a VPN, did force reboot several times. Very upset with Apple that they push out this updates, and then we must uninstall and reinstall all of our apps. REDICULOUS!!! Haven't seen any solutions from Apple, and the posts I read do not help.

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?)

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.

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.

This update has been a nightmare- several basic features no longer work

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.
