Any issues with the latest iOS 18.3.2 software?

I have spoken with Apple and they have no solution for this issue. I can receive group texts but am unable to respond to them. I have spoken with several people over the past few days who are having the same issue. It is Apple’s App so it is their problem to solve. This problem arose after the March 11 update. That is the only common denominator therefore, the conclusion is there’s a problem with the update.

You do realize there are millions upon millions upon millions of iPhone 13 owners out there who have updated to iOS 18.3.2 without issue, right? Advising someone NOT to update because you have an issue, isn't the right approach. By not updating, people are leaving their phones vulnerable to exploits which updates patch. That's never a good thing to avoid.

You need to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar to see why YOU are having the issue you described.

Relatively few of those reports getting posted too, given the many millions of people already using it.

When something truly bad happens, this place and other forums all light up.

And of the billion or so devices in use, some number of those devices will fail on any particular day whether due to a nascent hardware error, cosmic ray, user error, or whatever else, and some of those will then post here.

There are always postings about a release.

18.3.2 has been quite solid, here.

The only widespread issue reported with 18.3.2 was re-enabling Apple Intelligence, for those that had that feature shut off. The fix there was the obvious one; to re-disable that feature.

The most common cause of the symptoms you describe is out-of-date VPN. Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN, but there is no reason to. VPN actually reduces your privacy, it does not enhance it, so you may want to rethink the reason you use VPN.

Alarm, sound and haptic will randomly stop working until you reboot your iPhone.

suspect they mess up the logic on the focus or do not disturbed mode.

My phone automatically updated to 18.3.2while I was asleep. I can’t see older messages and it won’t let me view voicemail or recent calls. How do I roll the software back so that my phone is useable. Very unhappy!

Don’t do it. I have a 13 Pro Max and updated to 18.3.2. Now the back camera and flashlight aren’t working. A force restart fixed it for a couple of hours but they’re back to black and not going on and the restart doesn’t work anymore.

You just see the few people with complaints, most likely unrelated to the software update. You forget that there are millions of people, myself included, that have no issue with this update. If there were an issue with the update, this site wouldn’t be able to handle the number of people asking about it and it would probably crash.

I would gladly like to inform that iOS 18.4 has been released as of just now. This update includes the latest features, bug fixes, performance enhancements, and a whopping 60 security vulnerability patches! Be sure to update as soon as possible.

Yes, there is a problem with 18.3.2. I can receive group texts but I cannot send in that group. I can send to individuals separately but not in the group. It did not show up as an issue until the 18.3.2 update.

I am having this problem (initiating a group text), also. I go to Messages, then "Lists" (groups of contacts) and choose the list, but then there's a dead end and you just have to Cancel. I can still manually send group texts, but can't use the "Lists" feature to auto-populate the recipients line.

Other than this, no issues with iOS 18.3.2, so far.

I'm using a Pro Max 16, but I don't use a lot of apps on it. Mostly the basics.

Last time I checked no one has ever died from skipping an update.

No, but users who don’t update have a much greater risk of being exposed to malware. 18.3.2 fixes a barn-door sized vulnerability.

Hello!

No issues to report here. It’s recommended you Force Restart your device after every update: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Have a great day!

do not update to iOS 18.3.2, I've had numerous issues with mail, checking mail on icloud dot com will mess with your mail app on your phone, icloud drive not syncing properly...etc....
