iPhone lagging after iOS 18 Update

Whatsapp is worst among all. Every 15 mins I am clearing Safari history to clear up some memory and it helps for 5 mins then same ****.. This is really bad.. phone is not even one year old and how can you have this bad of OS.

Genuinely ios 18.0.1 has made my life worse everything just lags , stutters , jitters , literally the worst animations and what not camera issue , iphones sounds stops out of nowhere genuinely regretting updating to an iphone from samsung s24 ultra

I've downloaded the IOS 18 update a couple of days ago but it's really laggy. Internet is a little slow on my Safari & my Photos keeps randomly reloading and crashing for some reason. I believe there's some sort of bug or glitch there. Please fix it as soon as possible, thanks. Also my battery is going down faster than it normally does, can you please fix that as soon as possible as well? Also my screen time limit is going off much more earlier than usual for some reason. Can you please fix that as well ASAP?! And my screen has been randomly freezing for no reason at all. Please fix that as well ASAP! 😢😭

Same here after the 18 update, same battery issue now, screen dims, freezes. Types different and have to type real slow now for it to be legible. I tried to reset. It is a whole different phone now- not working well.

The joke behind all this is the name Apple Support.

There are millions of people across the planet complaining about the same thing and apple are doing sfa about it.

Well today I solved the problem for me by purchasing a Samsung A55 Yippee back to the pleasures of android and Apple can take it iPhone 14 pro max and stick it up there hairy little arse.

This again?

See 255623013 about the excessive battery consumption as a result of the iOS 17.6.1 update.

First, understand that the software does housekeeping after an update. It can usually be accomplished overnight but that depends on your device and its data. Try to install updates overnight and leave the device on the charger (It’s ok to do so and won’t ruin the battery. That rule applied to older battery technology). This is so that processor intensive tasks like file indexing for Spotlight Search or iCloud syncing can occur then and not during your day.

It's not "lagging" and "slow". It's just invisibly super busy for a while, after the update.

That's my theory anyway.

i have a iphone 15 pro and after the update everthing is delayed

iPhone 11, serious digitizer and lag issues post 17.7 update. Went ahead and took 18 hoping it would resolve the issue, did not. Currently attempting to go back to 17.6. Terrible.

Same issue right here iphone 14 pro

Interestingly I got an update to the iPhone 16 yesterday. So far i have not noticed any strange delays. lets hope this is fixed.

Same here for my XR. Hope that is not intentional from apple :)

And that a very low game to run on a phone, even typing here now, my iPhone SE 2 which wasn’t lagging on iOS 17, is very laggy now, can use anything in peace

I updated my iPhone 11 Pro Max to ios 18 and the screen stopped working… please what is the solution

Same is happening to me.

OMG, so grateful for your post! I just hit the update button, also on my Mac Studio, but now cancelled it all. Pfew!!
