Issues on iPhone 16 Pro Max after iOS 26.0.1 update

Have had nothing but issues with the iOS 26.0.1 software update. From bag lagging, blurry apps with white lines around them, battery drain, blank screen when someone calls, and more. Please help if anyone knows how to fix.

If you’ve turned off Increase Contrast, the glints you’re seeing are part of the new Liquid Glass user interface.


When you take a screenshot swipe up from bottom to force it to lower left corner, or press check button and select from options presented.


I don’t have answer to blank screen when calling. This may need to be taken up with Apple Support.


What apps are using your battery capacity? One or more apps may be causing the hesitation you’re experiencing.

This is not Apple Support. Apple and Apple Support do not participate here. Everyone posting and commenting are fellow Apple users, just like you.


My experience with iOS 26 sounds exactly opposite yours. That’s why myself and probably others are volunteering our time to assist fellow Apple users.


A couple of questions, what is “bag lagging.” Have you disabled Increase Contrast in your Accessibility Settings? What are the top 5 apps using the most of your daily battery capacity?

Sorry, Bad not bag. When i try to swipe up to look at an open app i have to swipe up sometimes 5-6 times before it recognizes. Other issues when someone calls when on the other line, it's a blank screen. See attached. Taking a screenshot doesn't lower down to the left corner it takes up the entire screen until you choose what to do with it. This update has cause multi issues.
