Issues with latest iOS 26 on iPhone 16 Pro

I am facing multiple issues after upgrading my Iphone16pro to IOS26, below are the some of the problems I am listing.

  1. Unable to connect to some Wifi Networks.
  2. In the phone app that is used to make calls, previous scrolling down gives search bar that is much quicker to use and different feel compared to android OS but a separate icon provided at right bottom in the app which is not good.
  3. Accessing apps become slow that makes the phone performance slower than previous version.
  4. Battery gets draining much quicker.

I tried to downgrade to older version which seems to be not supported as per the Google search.

I would like to know when can I get the fix or new patches for this OS version?

iOS 26 is so bad I canceled my 17 Pro Max order. Who thought this was a good idea? If it's not fixed soon I'm going to have to order a Samsung. Ugh, why do these tech companies feel the need to have endless upgrades nobody asks for and make their products worse.


My main issue is that I can't see what I'm typing, it's always off-screen, unless I use the Apple keyboard instead of SwiftKey. The Apple keyboard is laggy and generally terrible, no chance I keep the phone if that isn't fixed.

Thank you for this! I was wondering if the iOS 26 was stuffing up the 16 pro as well. My friend has the 17pro and honestly has had nothing but trouble with the iOS! I was hesitant to upgrade my iOS based on her issues (having to restart the phone no less than 5 times a day because it just goes offline for no reason) and now after reading your comment I’ll wait til Apple fix the bugs to upgrade to 26! It’s pretty bad for Apple though. Usually they are quick to get things fixed.
