iPhone loses signal bars when opening apps after the latest update

Every time I open an app I lose my signal bars. This started happening after the last update. I have to restart my phone to receive calls and texts. Any permanent solutions would be appreciated. If apple wonders why people don’t update their phones they should read this.

Signal bars disappearing on my iPhone My signal bars keep disappearing, but it’s only when I am on my Home screen. If I pull up an App, they show up. I can remedy it by turning my phone off and on, but it only lasts for about a day. Is anyone else having this issue? Just to be clear, I’m not losing my signal at all, just the indicator.

iPhone 16 Pro Max lag and app issues after iOS 18.4.1 update Dramatic lag across multiple apps and performance issues with Signal, CarPlay, Sonos and even cell-signal with an overall slow-down in iPhone 16 Pro Max after update to iOS 18.4.1 The issues started right after the update - performance was just fine until then. Is there a fix coming? Is there a workaround or a rollback? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Iphone 16 app slowness and connection issues I've got an iphone 16 pro max and am having issue with extremely slow app loading and connecting to apple car play. The phone, the apps and the car are updated to current versions. When I open amazon app it will take at least 1 min or longer to load. Doesn't matter if I am on wifi or not. In my car 50% of the time it will take up to 5 minutes for the phone to connect to apple car play. I have xfinity cell service. Is this on their end? Not sure what else to try. Phone is only 2 months old.

is it happening only one location or in different regions??

if the issue is continuous you need to re install the software again .

That is the only way .

Before proceeding take a data back up and restore the device.
