iPhone X Lock Screen features disappear

When you say 'home screen' -- do you mean the Lock Screen? Like this:

Or do you mean the screen(s) which display all of your icons, where you can 'flip' to successive screens (what you see after the phone has been unlocked)? Like this:

Similar issue here. The clock flashes up for a split second on the lock screen and then fades/blurs along with the lock screen wallpaper. If I swipe right to the widgets screen then the clock comes back into focus. Swipe back to the lock screen and th clock blurs again.

This is insanity. It's literally driving me insane, and I lost a role because of it. I couldn't get out of the dang on screen and missed my exit while following maps and ended up 20 minutes late to a final callback. Apple literally just costed me about $12,000 :/

This is insane. They need to issue a fix NOW.

So, are they trying to say that the only way to fix this is to get a new device? They really think that it’s a device issue that’s causing almost every single iPhone X user to experience this? I don’t believe that tech one single bit. If it is in fact a device issue, then this phone should’ve never been released for purchase to the public. Just sayin...

You referenced nearly every iPhone X having the problem. I’m not sure a thread with around 460 posts about the issue constitutes the leap to every one... with millions sold. Just a perspective. Though, perhaps you have access to reports I don’t.

Haha, I love the people who need to be technical with everything. Obviously, since the word almost was used, it wasn’t meant to be every single user. But thanks for the reply anyways, even though there was no point to your post.

Like I asked, does Apple really think that it’s a device issue, with “so many people” having this issue?

Better cupcake?

I really hope this is not the case! I don't want to have my phone replaced...especially if this doesn't really fix the problem.

Also - the problem being hardware simply doesn't make sense. The phone doesn't lose the capacity to display images. Just that some images disappear from the lockscreen - after a while.

I really do wish we would receive some actual guidance from Apple about this directly, rather than every one of us having to explore this problem! This is really irritating for a $1200+ device.

It's actually not at all widespread, but Apple is good about keeping track of similar issues.

Personally neither I nor anyone I know with an X has seen this, so now it's a question of narrowing it down further.

The title of this thread is "iPhone X Lock Screen features disappear."

This doesn't happen to everyone, or even to most people.

So yes, there are unique configurations/situations causing this or it would happen to everyone with an X.

You’re on page 8 of this discussion and you haven’t read anything up to this point? How many posts have you seen about people going to Apple and being told the need a new device? You should know better than that. Just bc you or the circle of friends you have don’t see this issue, doesn’t mean it’s not happening to majority of iOS 11 users. And it’s not a device issue, so other iPhones experience this as well. Since last September is been brought to Apples attention and still, here we are in the next year and they still are telling people they are not aware of this issue? Please. They have been doing this for way too long for people to be that gullible. And if you are, I truly feel for you. They need to do a better job with support. Their products are good, but they can’t even help solve any issue. All they ever say is “update and restore” or “turn in your defective device for a new one”. The sad part is people keep falling for their crap.

Same issue as well. Really fustrating as it keeps coming back. Restored my phone and the bug was back within a day.

Really regret buying this phone after so many years of android. I’m done with crappy apple after this

Same thing and started about one week ago. Did report to Apple support — it is even worse since. Tried to disable Face ID and just use passcode but that doesn’t work either. Had to reboot phone to restart. Very annoying.

Define a "lot"; out of the millions of iPhone Xs sold, very few are having this issue, but I certainly understand how annoying it is if you are.

When it comes to battery usage, that is a function of your cell signal; a long call in a high signal area will use far less battery than one in a low signal area.

If you think you may have a battery issue, simply make an appointment with your local Apple Store or servicer for further diagnosis.

Did you even read what he was referring to with the term “a lot”? No. He never said anything about it referring to a lot of people having this issue. He said he has contacted Apple “a lot”. Just bc you haven’t had the issue or your inner circle hasn’t, doesn’t put you in the majority. Pretty sure if you took time to research this, you’d notice “a lot” of people having this issue. And not just X users.

Either way you want to play it, they have no idea what’s going on and are incompetent at providing any helpful feedback. They are being told say after day about this issue, yet respond with that answer to d.24?

Your response to a battery issue is no different than their response to almost everything that can go wrong with an iPhone: “just contact Apple to get it taken care of”....yes, bc this has obviously proven to be very effective...I highly doubt these battery issues are being caused by your reception. Yes, it will use more battery, but enough to cause concern? Never. It’s a firmware issue.

People should stop protecting Apple and understand that this is an iOS issue. Not a device issue. Going into Apple will not fix anything. They will more than likely try to tell you that you need a new phone. Look how many people have don’t it so far, yet still have this issue. Smh...they will keep doing this until people stop being gullible.

turning off bluetooth has done nothing for me. Still happens. I know can't use faceID anymore when it happens, At first I was still unable to lock it that way now it fails no matter what when bugged. Have no choice but to reset as I can't log into the phone.

Really getting annoying now. Happens with no notifications, no Bluetooth. Just random and all the time now
