iOS 26.1 update app problems

iOS 26 app problems iPhone 13

Many of my apps no longer function now. Some of them say I have no internet connection but when I perform a speed test, WiFi and 5G I have a strong connection. Other apps work fine. Examples of non working, YouTube, Rocket Money, PayPal, any post that is a video on facebook, instagram etc, as well as streaming services like Paramount and Peacock. and more I’m sure. Examples of ones that are working, Credit Carma, USAA, KeyBank, Chase, and streaming services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney, also shopping apps like Walmart, Costco, eBay, Amazon etc.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 26

Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN, then restart your device. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. Updates sometimes need to have VPN to be removed and reinstalled. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN, but probably shouldn't.
