iOS 26 causing battery drain, overheating, UI lag, and WhatsApp glitches on iPhone 15

Dear Apple Support,


I have always been a big fan of iPhone, but the

new iOS 26 update has created serious issues on my iPhone 15. Please take this

on priority and solve urgently:


·      

Battery

Drain: Earlier my phone lasted 18 hours easily, now it hardly runs 6

hours. This is a brand-new, unused device, and such performance is

unacceptable.

·      

Overheating:

Device heats up even during normal use.


·      

WhatsApp Issues:

This is the biggest problem. While chatting, the conversation automatically

jumps upward. Also, while going back, the screen blinks and lags badly.

·      

UI &

Transition Lags: Opening and closing apps feels broken. Icons

sometimes disappear. Lock screen lags.

·      

Camera

Quality: Earlier camera settings were legendary, especially with the

glass effect. Now it looks cheap, like a poor “China design.” Very

disappointing.

·      

Gallery

Lag: Scrolling photos is slow and stuttering.


·      

Settings

Search: The design has become awkward—the top side looks fine, but the

lower side looks bad and unpolished.

These issues are making the iPhone experience

extremely frustrating. I request Apple to roll out a fix as soon as possible. Please treat this as

a top priority and resolve quickly.

Yes, I’ve already tried a force restart using the exact steps (volume up → volume down → side button). Unfortunately, the issues still persist — battery drain, WhatsApp chat glitch, screen blinking while going back, and overall lag. So this is clearly not just a restart issue, it’s a deeper iOS 26 problem that needs a fix from Apple’s side.
