Issues on my iPhone 12 Pro after updating to iOS 18.3.1

Since completing the update I cannot control downtime for my children's phones through Family in settings, it just freezes. I have figured out a workaround, but it is very annoying. Apple TV app won't even load, just goes to a white screen and freezes. Settings takes forever come up and trying to do anything takes a long time with lagging. And all the while the battery is getting HOT when it never did that before. I have restarted my phone multiple times and have checked for updates for the apps not working, including Apple TV, I have done all the trouble-shooting things and nothings fixes the issues. When is Apple going to fix the multiple problems this update has caused? I have noticed that I am not the only one having issues, this is VERY FRUSTRATING.

Since installing the 18.3.1 update to my iPhone 16 Pro and to my iPad Pro Gen 3, I’ve been experiencing an array of strange issues. These include random application freezes, refusal to charge (plugging into known working cables and power supplies), map overlays not showing up. In each case, the problems resolve after shutting down the device and rebooting. The only common factor in both the IOS 18.3.1 and iPad OS 18.3.1 is length of time running. I normally keep my devices alive 24/7. If I’m not using them, they are in sleep mode or on a charger. I only rarely restart them except after an update or after a rogue application hangs. These instances are becoming more frequent the longer the update is out. The non-charging is clearly an Apple issue, not a hardware issue since it occurs on two different devices of different generations purchased at different times and running perfectly before the update. The map issue is an Apple issue since it again occurs with different devices. The freezing can occur with just about any random application and more randomly - I.e. anytime.


i know several other people experiencing similar weird issues, and others.


it is hard to report these as bugs as there are no diagnostics associated.
