IOS 11.0.3 problems

I’ve Just upgraded to IOS 11.0.3. on my iPhone and iPad. My iPad is now gone very slow when pulling up different pages and freezes now and again. The battery doesn’t seem to last as ***. Also the keyboard isn’t working too well since it’s been changed. When I type words, some of the letters keep coming up as numbers. this happens a lot and it is very frustrat8ng. Also I find it unnessesarily confusing when trying to find different symbols, and it was so much easier before.


On my iphone, the Reminder app keeps freezing when I try to put a date and time in and I have difficulty in trying to get out of the page and have to keep on tapping the ’close’ about 6 times.


Is anyone else experienc8ng these glitches

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 11.0.3

I‘ve seen in other posts that some people have been able to get their devices to perk back up by resetting their settings. You can do this by going to Settings > General > Reset, then click on “Reset All Settings”. This will reset all the settings that you have set and you’ll have to set them again, and I would suggest changing them one at a time and see if it effects the device stability. This way you’ll be able to isolate the settings that may be effecting the effectiveness of your device. Make sure if your doing this you don’t click on Erase All Content and Settings as this will erase EVERYTHING on your iPad and you would then have to restore everything back unless this is something that you are ready to do.

Agreed! Apple suggested that I restore my phone from a backup. My biggest problem was that I wasn't getting any notifications sounds for text alerts, calendar and even phone calls! So far, the restore helped BUT, the next day, I got a notification that I had a text from someone in my contacts but it wasn't actually from that person! When I clicked on the text, the name changed to the correct person! Strange. Good luck. I think we're all just waiting for 11.0.4.

I’m on an iPad. I’m having issues with apps doing this weird kind of freezing thing. For example, when I’m on a Facebook, everything works normally for a bit, then it kind of freezes - I can scroll through my timeline, but I clicking on article links, likes and comments does nothing. I also cannot change my timeline from top stores to most recent stories. All I can do is scroll. Games and email are the same way - I can scroll and move around, but tapping on any link does nothing. Also, some apps just won’t open after the update when they did right before. And I HATE the new keyboard layout. Thank God I read about the key flicks - it is not a great new feature, as Rysz says. It’s horrible! I wish I could go back to 11.0.2. 😡

I am having nothing but problems with the update (11.0.3). Apps freeze, sometimes close right after opening. Sometimes voice commands don’t work. Phone is overall slow. The phone itself will freeze (become unreaponsive to the point that I can’t even shut it down). Occasionally the phone will shutdown on its own. I have a 7plus (bought new only a year old) and I’m only taking up 28 gigs. I have already told everyone I know that has iPhones not to do the update. I am ready to say farewell to Apple. These devices are way to expensive to be having unreliable software issues like this. Do I really need to go back to Samsung to have a reliable device? I only switched to the iPhone to try something new. I am starting to regret that.

. When I type words, some of the letters keep coming up as numbers.

It’s a great new feature called “Key Flicks.“ It allows for typing of the character at the top of the key by flicking (sliding) down on the key, without having to switch the keyboard to the 123 mode. You can turn it off in settings.

Thank you Rysz. I didn’t know that I could turn it off or that the action was called “keyflicks“.

It might be ok for some, but it was driving me mad! I have now turned it off.


Now I’ve got to find out why, when clicking on a different window, it takes a while to appear. It used to be instant before I upgraded to 11.0.3.


Thanks again

Exactly the same things I have been with Apple since iPhone 4. And this is the worst update I have every seen. I have to restart my phone (power and volume key) a few times a day!!!!! The the battery? I have never seen my battery on my iPhone 7 Plus this bad! Horrible. I am extremely upset about this. How many billions do u need to make the software “normal” like they been for the last ten years?

Everyone seems to be suffering with iOS 11.0.3!!

It’s a nightmare.....

Apps shut down or crash

Can’t connect to my home security cameras

Battery life is down to 50%

Mobile data takes ages to download ....have to keep switching to Airplane Mode every time!

All this when I was looking forward to buying the new iPhone X!!!!!

Apple please🙏🙏🙏🙏do something!

I have these same issues with my iPad, with one very irritating addition. I can charge my iPad (battery lasts about 49 minutes), to 100%, close all apps, swipe and turn off the iPad. Get up the next morning, turn it on it shows 100% then 3 seconds later shuts down showing a small red line for no battery. This is so annoying I am ready to trash this expensive boat and use my tablet! Any idea when they are going to fix this IOS?
