iPhone 14 glitching after iOS 18.3.1 update

My iphone 14 is glitching after the ios 18.3.1 update thing. My wallpaper turns black whenever i change it, all my “video playing” apps are glitching/not loading the videos at all, and even safari takes at least two minutes to let me type in what i want to type in. I have restarted it, force restarted it, and reset all my settings multiple times. I have 73.4 GB of storage space left and 2.9 out of 5 in my icloud. I’ve NEVER had this problem with my iphone 12 pro and my iphone SE which had LESS storage space on them than this phone and they never glitched. Why is it a problem now??

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!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



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.
