Any issues with the latest iOS 18.3.2 software?

How’s the latest iOS 18.3.2 update? Did anyone face issues with it?

Just wanted to know before I update my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

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.

I’m not sure what went wrong, but ever since the update, the sound quality and volume have dropped significantly.

Whenever I play something, the audio comes out distorted and crackly.

P.S. I recently visited the service center for a battery replacement, and they also cleaned the speakers. Everything was working perfectly before the update.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried that multiple times and sadly still no joy.

iOS 18.3.2 didn't impact any of my banking apps ability to use FaceID. In fact, no app, which is set up to use FaceID was impacted. If any are for you, and you've tried the suggestions here, have you deleted the App, then reinstalled it and signed in again, making sure you set up FaceID in the banking app settings? If that doesn't work, then it's time to contact the bank directly for help.

I'm having a similar issue. The actual camera app works fine for me but if I am using any other app (Snapchat, Instagram, Fetch) these apps will only let me use the front facing camera. A couple of times Snapchat has shown me a black front facing camera screen as well. I hope they are able to provide you with some answers!

You are referring to 3rd party apps, none of which are owned by Apple and none of which Apple has any influence or control over. The App Developers of those apps need to take responsibility for anything which isn't working as it should. Apple can't touch the code in their apps.

I regret updating my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Five nights ago, while I was sleeping, my phone updated itself. When I woke up, it said “No Storage” and had Stolen Device Protection turned on. I disabled it, but my phone still wouldn’t let me delete apps to free up space.



When I restarted it, it got stuck on the Apple logo for five days—right in the middle of my honeymoon. I lost so many pictures, even though my phone WAS BACKED UP. Somehow, my iCloud removed a bunch of stuff!!!! including a year’s worth of contacts. Today, I went to the Apple Store in LA, and they had to completely wipe my phone. Now, I only have 30 photos from the most important week of my life, even though everything was supposed to be backed up.




I cried at the Apple Store because some of my best memories are gone. If you’re considering this update, back up everything manually—this update completely messed up my phone. They also said this could happen again

Accidentally update the latest iOS 18.3.2 because i forgot to turn off the automatic update. After updating the battery on my iphone 13 is unverified and the phone keep restarting :(


Take the device in for examination:



Good luck!

Every update will have issues for some users. There’s a multitude of reasons, but many are the result of third party apps not being updated by their developers or optimized for the latest iOS versions. This is out of Apple’s control. It’s just a fact of ever changing technology. Expecting perfection is not a realistic expectation. Instead, determine the few apps and services that are mission critical and confirm with users that they are optional and you can carry out your mission critical daily tasks.

Yes, I have a iPhone 15 pro max, and now no microphone settings or Siri doesn't work, no voice memos, recording doesnt work either, no speak to text, and when placing a call thus far, when I call I have to put them on speaker or all you hear is loud static... I have tried everything, ever with apple support online! Thus far except next step is factory resetting the phone. Which is going to suck!! I had no issues with my phone until I did this update!!!

The Ring security camera app appears to be malfunctioning under the recent iOS update 18.3.2 that was just installed on my iPhone 11 Pro. When login to my Ring account is attempted, the app returns a “406 Not Acceptable” error code. Please advise how this can be rectified.


Hello!


Reach out to the Support Team of the company that made the security camera.


Good Luck!

Seems as though it’s caused a few issues for me with my Face ID


My Face ID works for when I want to get into my phone, but has seemingly stopped working for a lot of my apps (banking, Apple Store etc)


I tried the usual uninstalling, deleting, switching off etc but nothing works.


The result is me having to remember passwords for a lot things which is quite annoying.

CarPlay stopped working now the usb cord isn't bad i have it connected to my mac and the usb cord is fine but the cord isn't working in the car. It stopped reading the phone in the car now and CarPlay isn't displaying my car as it did before the update. The bluetooth however still works but connecting the phone via CarPlay no longer does. I have the 15 Pro Max and other issues with the phone started as well can't edit photos like used to have to do it a certain way certain apps aren't working as they should
