Potential issues with iOS 26 update

It may be best to create your own post with the details. It is not clear what links you are referring to or what software you are using for these links. If you can provide screenshots of what you see in the new post, it may also help as long as it does not contain any personal information. With this thread being nearly 3 months old over several updates, the relevance of posting on this old thread is not as effective then if you created a new post.

After iOS26 update my SIM card is not detected anymore. 26.0.1 didn't fix anything.

Phone still unable to connect to any mobile network.

You need to contact your carrier.

Here's a potential issue: You won't like the way Liquid Glass looks. That seems to be the big gripe.

If you're change-averse, wait a week or more and keep reading the forums. You'll learn a lot about what people like and don't like.

Remember, a lot of things are preferences, not bugs.

I updated my business iPads. We use an MDM and use Kiosk mode. Upon restart, the device is fine. After it auto locks, it cannot be opened without restarting again. Anyone have a solution for this? I'm working on talking with Apple Support about it as well. When it is in the "locked" state, and I try to swipe up then I see a brief message about notifications. Very odd.

I'm using an iPhone 11. After updating to iOS 26,my phone automatically turns on the loudspeaker when I make a call. I experience a delay when searching for contacts, and I also experience a significant delay when searching the web. The phone is overheating, and the charge is also

decreasing while using it.

IOS 26 worked for one day and has been horrible ever since. I am unable to play music or listen to videos while my phone is locked. I am unable to open the Bluetooth area of the settings app making it impossible to connect to items (AirPods, TV, ect). The phone lags and won’t even shut off when it’s prompted to do so. I so desperately wish I never ungraded because now my phone literally doesn’t work.

While watching movies on SharePlay the audio does not route to my Bluetooth headphones after iOS 26 update. I’ve troubleshoot and noticed that my headphones are connected and will show as connected while watching the movie, but no audio until my partner ends call.

iPhone 13

iPhone 17 pro max. My notification bar when locked and sometimes via the quick access drop down will be shifted about an inch to the left, making it hard to read notifications as i miss the beginning of them.

IOS26 iphone issues. after updating if I am editing a long text message or any text that is long I can no longer see the cursor at the top of the screen when the keyboard appears

the cursor will stay were you place it however the screen is positioned at the bottom so you can not see where the cursor is located

so I can no longer edit long text messages or any text without having to scroll up when the keyboard appears

even when the keyboard appears I am automatically taken down to the end / bottom of the text message or text meaning I can not see what I am editing at the top of the text message or any text

this occurs in all apps

never had the issue in previous IOS versions

Am i the only who experience the keyboard of ios26 always making typo or wrong output on whatsapp/imessage ? and not agile like other ios? also, when i type "jam" the output shows "ja," tried to edit, but the editing version is already correct with "jam" then i close the editable pop up, but it still shows "ja," It happend a lot especially on whatsapp, im super tired. next time before send to public, use apple's employee as a user, dont let people experienced the bad things like those thing!!! Apple play with us.

since I upgraded my iPhone 15 pro to iOS 26, I must say I have been really disappointed, my iPhone cinematic camera mode experience became buggy and laggy along with other user interface laggy experiences… it’s really sad Apple has to destroy our previous iPhones by rolling out buggy iOS so we can go purchase the iPhone 17 😡😡😡

Since I downloaded iOS 26 my wireless charging doesn’t work, and when plugged in the phone will randomly say there is water in the charge port. Have to restart the phone to charge it with a cable. Started happening the next day after update. Should have never updated. 16 Pro Max. Never been in water, dropped etc.

My Apple Pay has not worked anywhere since updating to IOS 26. Also setting up new phones with quick start has not worked. Keeps saying “move the device closer to continue” but the phones are sitting on top of each other

since I installed iOS26, option for personal hotspot is unavailable, even though it was before the update. There is an option in setttings, but I can’t even get in that setting. Also, after the update, the button for lowering the sound is not clicking.
