After downloading 26.1 it made a number of changes to my phone. Multiple settings changed and have not been able to change back.

What settings are you referring to that you are unable to change? The current version of iOS is 26.2, so troubleshooting iOS 26.1 in a futile effort.

Mr Apple, if it aint broke, then do not try to fix it.

Apple will not see your post here, that is why the Feedback link has been posted many times for those that want to let Apple know how they feel. Personally, I like the new UI and have't experienced any problems with Settings not being able to be changed. Opinions are irrelevant on a support site, so I would recommend creating a new post describing that problem and include screenshots to help visualize what you are seeing. Since you posted in a forum specifically for iOS 26.1, you are not likely to get many eyes on your post, so update first.


What is the purpose of the old motto if it aint broke, then do not try to fix it? The horse and carriage was a perfectly acceptable mode of transportation, yet here we are with those darn cars and airplanes. Has there ever been a single company or technology that has ever adopted that strategy? If so, you can bet they are no longer in business.

Recently updated and HATE it! When sharing a contact, you cannot include notes. OOOOLLLLDDDD and long deleted texts are showing up in the "Unknown Senders" - the contact isn't even in my list any longer. Tried to send a new text to a contact, and it pulled up an old, deleted text, from 3 months ago to add to. The camera app is HORRIBLE and cumbersome. The format to delete emails has changed and you have a tendency to by fat fingered. Connectivity to various apps is slow or nonresponsive. WHEN DOES THE FIX COME OUT?!?
