That should not happen.

Make sure you have updated the apps in App Store

Make sure you don't have VPN or security apps

Problems with iOS 26.2 update Is there any to change settings in the iOS 26.2 update. I have an iPhone 13 and after update. Read to speech is very robotic and I had downloaded a premium voice. Work fine before update. The tool bar for read to speech is horrible, want to use previous one. Also, I do not like the new setup for safari. Like to the older version

iOS 26.1 issues: YouTube videos not playing, no audio in calling apps I regret updating to iOS 26.1 because 1, YouTube will not play A SINGLE VIDEO. 2, any calling app like google meet is not playing any audio, I've updated both the apps and they aren't working. Anyone have a solution? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: iOS 26.1 issues

What causes spoken content to stutter on iOS 18? I use spoken content in the accessibility app to read aloud kindle books all the time. After I updated to iOS 18 on my Iphone 13, the playback stutters and plays back intermittently where you can't understand the full sentence. I have tried this on three cars, three automakers, three carplays, two with bluetooth, one with apple certified connection cord. It doesn't matter. I turned off carplay and just used media on a car to see if it was a car play issue, and it still did it. Then if I switch to a different app like spotify, it does it there too. I have to kill the spotify app and relaunch and then it will work. However, spoken content does not work regardless of restarting phone, killing the app, turning off the spoken content menu bar and turning it back on. This is so disappointing as I listen to books all the time. If an audio book isn't available, I use the spoken content feature. I'm currently on 18.2 with no update available. I keep thinking it will be better with next update, but no go. I haven't tried another iphone in the house. That is my next test, but I am wondering if anyone has had any issues since 18. iOS 17 I had no problem. On a side note, since 18, I haven't had my phone autoreverse to some default voice like Samantha. Siri #4 is sticking. So that's positive. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I restarted my iPhone and everything works fine now. I don’t have VPNs and any of that though. Thank you
