AI features are inaccurate and apps wont load

I’ve had nothing but issues since installing the latest update 18.2.1 & am sorry I did. The AI feature adds words off the TV or from someone talking in another room to calendar & phone contacts. It’s very unclear which settings are needed with the AI or what exactly they even do. Many of my apps won’t load until I completely close them out & delete, shut down the phone, & then reinstall the app. Sites I’ve saved in Safari to homescreen never load until I delete, open in Google, & then reinstall to homescreen. I’ve never had a mess like this before & this is an iPhone 16Pro. Boo on Apple.

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.
