Coros for my sports watch has an excellent app on all the previous iOS versions, but it keeps freezing in 26.2

• Calculator HD. There are a couple in the App Store, so not sure which one you have. The ones I saw were very old without any recent updates from the Developer. It certainly is possible without any Developer support an app may no longer work and you can report that problem to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple will contact the developer with reported issues by users and if they do not resolve the problem, it will be removed from the App Store. You can contact the Developer yourself, but the one I saw was had the contact information in Chinese.
• Coros - Make sure you have the latest update for this app. It was updated 1 week ago where the previous update (3 weeks earlier) had caused problems even on devices running iOS 18. The newest version is 4.3.12.
• Notes - Are you able to determine if there is anything that can be done to replicate this issue. I have been trying to see if I can duplicate it, but was not successful. I tried editing old notes and creating new ones on 2 separate devices without any luck. I also searched this Support Site for others experiencing that issue in an attempt to find a solution, but could not see that it has been reported. You can still provide a Bug Report to Apple here and under Feedback Type, choose Bug Report. Feedback - Notes - Apple

Waiting is not a very good strategy. I would suggest creating a new post with the issues along with your Battery Health and include a screenshot of the green battery graph and the top apps consuming your battery at Settings > Battery.

"Is iOS 26.2 version update working?: Has anyone updated their iPhone to iOS 26.2 yet? Is this version update finally working, or is the firmware still full of bugs and lags?"

iOS26.2 Version Bugs:

Nothing for me. Though, many might be stuck in a Boot Loop, which commonly occurs where you go about installing an update, and it stall while in the process: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - Apple Community

The update has been troublesome for sure. It changed many settings. When I intentionally close apps, they only fade away slowly and remain running in the background. The phone is stuck on slow fade with all apps and actions. I tried toggling on and off reduce motion settings, and many other suggested solutions I found on YouTube. The new update is full of buggy annoyance's.

The iOS 26.1 update is TERRIBLE!

My personal experience when updating to this version to my less than 2 year old SE 3rd Edition has been one

of total frustration and wasted time ever since an Apple tech, suggested after discussing a non-related issue, I should upgrade to iOS 26.1.

In the 3-4 weeks since the update, these are the issues I still have, even

after updating to iOS 26.2 about 4 days ago:

--BATTERY Drain: my battery now last

about half as long as it did prior to the update.

--INSTABILITY OF GENERAL NAVIGATION:

especially relating to text messages received. EVERY morning I am unable to

navigate between Known and Unknown messages. I try to go to view and delete

Unknown messages and the screen reverts to Known messages. This last several

hours a day with gradual improvements later in the day.

--CELLPHONE CONNECTIVITY; is now terrible.

The amount of dropped calls or inability to send SMS texts have quadrupled.

This problem includes the inability to even call Apple support. As soon as I

dial a number, the phone will show Failed Call and ask if I want to attempt

again. After 3-4 retrys I usually can connect.

--LOST DATA: After the update I immediately

noticed that many of my Contacts had missing data from my data entries made 6

mos. earlier and later. This happened not on all contacts, but many of them. In

order to get the data back I had to do a RESTORE.

--FREEZING OF THE SCREEN DURING INPUT:

often, more than 50% of the time the screen will freeze while I am typing data

into a text or an online form.

IT JUST APPEAR THAT THE GPU CAN NOT HANDLE

THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS iOS UPDATE!!

PLEASE LET US GO BACK TO THE PRIOR iOS

UPDATE WHERE MY PHONE WORKED JUST GREAT!!!

26.2 update destroyed my iphone 15. Return key doesn't work. phone doesn't shut down. Volume stuck at very low level and volume controls don't n't work. Sound limit isn't on so it's not that. Not connected to bluetooth.

Support chat ran diagnostics then disconnected after telling me everything checked out fine. WTH with this update?

Was your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.

I have been updating my devices ever since I bought my first device in 2009. iPhone 3Gs, 4S, 5, 6, SE (1st Gen), 7, 8 and iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 13, Macbook Air 2019, MacBook Pro 16"

I never had any issues with any iOS, iPadOS, or macOS updates to date.

I would personally recommend everyone update their devices instead of listening to rumors from people who may not have kept their devices free from any spurious software.

iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken. 

iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

This seems purely coincidental, so please check the settings on your device.

See what each update does: OS — iOS 26, About iOS 18 Updates, About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...

I’ll try this again. Ever since I loaded the 26 iOS everything doesn’t load right. Web pages stop midway, reels stop during playback and other app videos stop or won’t play at all. I sometimes can exit and come back and it works. Even this page took multiple reloads. Suggestions?

“My wife’s iPhone 13 and my 16 both behaving well. I’m not a fan of the new liquid display but thats only my own opinion! Wife says she’s pleased with the iPad update too!”
