Lagging issues are not always the iOS update's fault! 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.

I'm not sure what could have created my super slow internet response overnight other than the 26.3.1 update. I generally allow a couple of days for the phone to return to normal after an update, but there has been no improvement. Speedtest results: 0.18Mbps download 0.15 Mbps upload fibre optic network iPhone 13 mini not jailbroken. Results from other phones and devices on the same wi-fi: 720 Mbps download 250Mbps upload.
It's clearly my phone. What do I need to check to identify the problem?
