You proved there is some app or setting in the backed up portfolio that is affecting it.


If you have everything sync'd to iCloud you could reset to factory and start building again, or alternatively uninstall all your third party apps and reset all settings. Build up the portfolio again.

It surely is not iOS 26.2.1 because...


I conducted a thorough search of this forum using the term 'Cellular Issues after iOS' and uncovered numerous posts detailing similar issues across various iOS updates. This suggests that iOS updates may not consistently be the root cause. Below are a handful of examples extracted from the search results:





The issue described is likely caused by your carrier, SIM or eSIM. Please check if there are any cellular updates available from your carrier.

Cellular Service issues are not caused by an iOS update!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.



Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



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



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the 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.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.



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...

Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned, I initially reported the problem to the network operator, and they said everything was fine. Why did I assume it was a software issue? Everything worked before the update, but after the update, it stopped. After a hard reset, it started working correctly, but when I restored the backup, the problem reappeared. I don't know anything about this; I'm just a user. No, i dont use jallibreak
