Potential issues with iOS 26 update

After I updated it deleted my information on one of the apps I play and I can’t get it back. I spent money on that app and now it all went down the drain

Thanks A Lot

iPhone 26

I’m am unable to receive emails on my 17 Pro Max, since the recent update. My Gmail account emails are coming through but not my Spectrum/Charter emails. Any suggestions?

Yes I found this type stuff with an iPhone 13 mini that I had bought. My iPhone SE 2 is not affected by this.

Since I moved to Apple almost 20 years ago - I've overall been very happy with what I get and how it performs but iOS 26 has me reconsidering the whole apple ecosystem.

The fact that the moderator changed the post to "potential" problems is almost comical. I don't see anyone in the eight pages of posts that doesn't with 100% certainty "HAVE" a problem they didn't have before. And I know with certainty that when I know can't forward a photo - from photos - to a text - it's a problem.

Just to list a few of the "potential" bugs I'm experiencing

1. photo won't forward to a text from photos - goes to text but no photo
2. text strings don't even show up when you try to forward a text -
3. switching to almost any app is "jumpy" and not smooth at all
4. when I try to use stored signins/passwords it asks for my passcode but then won't populate the field with either the email or password
5. messenger chat's (on wife's phone lost/wouldn't load)

And now a few PERSONAL preference things I don't like

1. I hate the new clock icon
2. don't understand why a search bar needed to be moved in text search
3. camera controls now hide where portrait is - additional looking to find it
4. and battery "low power" mode is now hidden in an additional menu

The issues aren't potential and have literally handicapped my phone right as I will be attending a huge work conference.

The PERSONAL concerns are just those - personal - but they do seem less efficient.

Very disappointing a big iOS would be this buggy.

Additionally, I have seen comments about "well it was made for the newest hardware - maybe it's a hardware problem" - well both my phone and my wife's are 16 pros - if an iPhone is "legacy" in one year - well then it's probably time to start thinking google.

Hello, the issue I find in the latest update of IOS 26.1 is that when you answer a call or hang up there is no haptics like it used to have before the update.

Settings > Apps > Phone > Haptics- turn it on.

Whether helpful or not--I tried to set up an iPhone 13 mini and could not get it to keep a connection to either wifi or any bluetooth device with Ios 26.1 The iphone 13 mini would set up but never hold a connection. Devices below

Took out my old phone iPhone SE 2020 and all wifi connections and Bluetooth devices I have keep their connections with no trouble. Devices tested: Phonak Roger ON (connects to two AB Bionics sound Processor for Cochlear Implant) and a sound processor for the AB Bionics (same device). The sound processor allows phone conversations so someone already deaf.
