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.

My phone is standard factory settings. It isn’t jailbroken, I don’t run extensive apps, I don’t download unnecessary apps. There were no changes to my phone before vs after the latest update. I just wanted to ask others in the community if they experienced the same thing after the 18.5 update. It’s possible the heating issue is causing touchscreen not to work as well. Maybe one is causing the other. All I know is it just started happening and I have owned this phone for quite some time without any problems.
