HUH?
You are talking about OS X on the Mac? An iOS update should not effect the Mac.
I'm not sure I follow what you are saying. I have British keyboard layout & ampersand has always been above 7.
shift + 7 = &
System Preferences > Keyboard, Keyboard tab, enable the 'Show Keyboard & character viewers in the menu bar'
Then open the 'Keyboard viewer' from the menu. it will show the layout (& update with the modifier keys).
I see this for British layout…
Hit the modifiers to see the additional characters.
Is it possible you had a custom shortcut for this? Those can be set in the 'Shortcuts tab' too.

You mean the at sign @ and NOT the ampersand &, right?
British PC always has the @ sign on shift '. If you don't like that, then go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and use the buttons to remove British PC and add British or US. Both of these have @ on shift 2.
Your Mac uses OS X, not iOS. iOS is for iPhones and similar mobile devices.
Many Thanks Tom
You were right - I meant the at sign above the 2.
Your solution has solved my problem - what is British PC when British is greyed out so I chose US
Now the at sign is where it belongs on my keyboard
If you have a "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, you may be able to click on that and choose British. The only difference from US is that you will get the £ key at shift + 3 instead of #.
Tom you are a star
I now have British in Preferences and all the symbols work correctly
Many Thanks for your invaluable help
