It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.



See what each update does: About iOS 18 Updates, About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...

How do you know this?


End-to-end encryption (E2EE) on iPhone Messages (iMessage) means that the messages are encrypted in such a way that only the sender and the recipient can read them. This encryption happens on the device before the message is sent and is decrypted only on the receiving device. Even Apple itself cannot access the contents of these messages.


However, this encryption is only valid for iMessages, not SMS (Short Message Service). SMS messages are transmitted in plaintext, meaning they are not encrypted, and third parties (including your mobile carrier) may have access to their contents.


iMessages are identified by their blue color in the Messages app, while SMS messages are typically green. If you're communicating with someone who is not using an Apple device, your message will be sent as SMS instead of iMessage, and it will not have the same encryption.
