Apple, we use our devices to keep track of our sick family members who need constant remote supervision. Since virtual Apple support essentially doesn't exist, and since most of us aren't able to wait for 2+ hours for a "genius" to help, when are we going to address this easily preventable issue?

18.3.1 iPhone XR

issues with update, as well. I should be able to set common defaults, not

APPLE—

...as how my photos are arranged, from a previous update. Request a sentence to be spoken from contextual menu, and oftentimes it 'winks' and system reverts to home screen... ..unstable—hopefully I.T. or whoever the body of individuals is, will resolve

iPhone 15 pro max update, what a mess…. My phone says LTE and one bar iMessages aren’t working, my phone is so slow… terrible we pay so much money for this and nothing but junk! I’ve even rebooted my phone it doesn’t getting to 5g since yesterdays update!

With me, and in particular with my SE 3, I gotta say I am disappointed. The tapping function (2x / 3x) no longer seems to work, despite being active. Whether for control centre activation or to take a Screenshot, it doesn't work anymore. Interestingly I noted the battery consumption in the background has too, increased. And the other thing among the many here highlighted by unhappy people, is the ability to stream vídeos (YouTube, Netflix, Amazon) sideways on both sides. Now streaming full screen works in one direction, whereas prior to this, you could swing your phone both sides and the screen would adapt to your orientation.

All in all, an important safety update, but at a costly price for other funcional properties.

Please dont be rookies peeps. You can do so much better than this.

very terrible update for my 14pm too… imagine watching a show in youtube or any movie in gmail and then the show has shooting, explosion, blasting and crazy boom sound then suddenly the screen just go dim and i cant see anything for awhile until it starts to finish all those blasting then it lights up a bit again…

second problem is swiping down the phone for easy access control and guess what? its worse than the ios 16 versions which you literally have to add and delete the control and i cant even make it the same way as the ios 16… how can one smartphone company being so professional end up making one of the worse software update in apple history?

and it also has the worst dark mode of all ios time… photo, safari, home screen all just seemed so wrong in every way… i really hope i can go back to my last ios update… ios 18.3.1 is 2/10

Currently, my Apple Journal app actively automatically changes my medication journal hourly recording into formatting mode right after I mark the numbers and either hit space on the iPhone virtual space bar between AM and PM or put a space after those two and start the first writing down notes. Also, if I return later on the same date(s), the messaging automatically turns into format mode, and my hourly records previously written turn on all the hours into numbered bullet points, and when I turn it off, it washes out the previous hour numbers.

I need this resolved as it is integral to my personal healthcare. My primary doctor directed me to utilize an app to take notes, and this was the first thing I saw on my iPhone.

Face ID won’t work either on my iPhone or on my iPad. I went on YouTube to try to fix the issue and nothing works. All I get is a message saying “Face ID is not available”. Even my iPad has a message saying that the display is not working properly and that the display is not genuine when I bought it less than a month ago. I’ve been checking everyday for a new update hoping they will correct the error but nothing.

Any suggestions?

Same here, I can't read any comments from the youtube and facebook apps. Even scrolling reels on fb app became buggy after the update. Regret installing this so called "recommended ios update". What a joke!

I installed 18.3.1 this afternoon (2/27/25) and now I'm having audio problems after making a video. When playing back the video, the sound volume keeps going in and out and is not clear... kind of muffled. Very frustrating I'm using an iPhone 11 Pro Max, who's volume replay was working perfectly right before the update was installed.

After the update my iPhone(15 pro) is not validating my eSIM and as it’s a US model I don’t have the option of using physical sims. I went to Apple Store and they told that they have to replace my phone for 600pounds!

Its crazy!!

Is there anyone who is facing a similar issue?

Yes, I updated two nights ago (Feb26, '25. Went to turn off my phone last might. Screen frozen ever since. Tried everything. Phone locked. Screen not responding to touch without its cover. My computer does not recognize the phone to restore settings. Going to an Apple Store today. Maybe the solution is a new phone. Hmmm.

Same here.

I updated my iPhone 13 to iOS 18.3.1 and many issues haven’t been fixed.

Siri doesn’t speak to me, even if preferred spoken responces are on, she just sends me visual responces.

VoiceOver randomly cuts out while reading continuously any Web page that has a video playback view.

I keep getting delayed notifications in some apps.

The list goes on.

How can I fix these issues effectively? Erasing all settings doesn’t fix anything

I’ve also experienced several issues following the iOS 18.3 and 18.3.1 updates, with Maps on my device having no directional audio through CarPlay since the initial 18.3 updates. A far more critical issue that I’ve been working with Apple, my carrier, and ISP over the last few weeks on has been my employer implementing a form of mobile device management on my personal iPhone 13 without my permission. February 25th, 2025 appears to have a security update showing triangulation through iCloud with use of internal home network LAN IP addresses and external VPN connectivity. From what I’ve read, it appears others are able to use the 172.xxx. LAN IP scheme to redirect iPhone internet traffic to a configured VPN tunnel. Would appreciate any additional information on this, as I’ve been dealing with a similar problem for over two months. It began with my employer implementing an AOVPN on my home network.

All of those functions work on my iPhone 15. The phone will not connect to the cellular carrier.

I spent a couple of hours with T-Mobile and Apple technical support. T-Mobile determined it is not a carrier issue. Apple support spent time troubleshooting with a network reset and replacing the eSIM card. I still have no network carrier. Apple support set up an appointment to take it to an authorized Apple repair center. Despite other comments, I found Apple support outstanding.

Oddly, the factory warranty expired on February 8, 2025, just before I updated to iOS 18.3.1. The repair, though, is free, and I bought it using AMEX, extending the warranty another year.
