Potential issues with iOS 26 update

Today my 15 pro updated last week to iOS 26.0.1 was singing two tunes, both on Apple Music. The current one was at its half when the next one started, and I could listen to them both in the same time. The phone was connected with car play by cable.

I do not ask for help, I write only to enlist one more bug to this iOS.

Don’t know why, but my sister updated her IPad to this update and it deleted Roblox, Spotify, and YouTube. Does anyone know why this is?

Apple changed the age ratings. It's likely that she is now considered too young for those based on her age. Your parents will need to adjust the settings.

My issues have been the other person not hearing me immediately once answering the phone, and even mid conversation. Some say I sound like I’m far from the phone. The phone glitches and lags for sure. I can’t say that I’ve experienced overheating, but I’m hoping there’s a new update coming soon that fixes these issues.

Ever since I downloaded iOS 26.1 my phone has been buggy in many ways. The most prominent bug being that sometimes all my app icons disappear and become grey, it takes some time before they reappear.

Then, sometimes my phone simply won’t turn on or react to me pressing the screen, and then 30s later I have a delayed reaction to whatever I tried to do.

Whether helpful or not--I tried to set up an iPhone 13 mini and could not get it to keep a connection to either wifi or any bluetooth device with Ios 26.1 The iphone 13 mini would set up but never hold a connection. Devices below

Took out my old phone iPhone SE 2020 and all wifi connections and Bluetooth devices I have keep their connections with no trouble. Devices tested: Phonak Roger ON (connects to two AB Bionics sound Processor for Cochlear Implant) and a sound processor for the AB Bionics (same device). The sound processor allows phone conversations so someone already deaf.

Some devices don't react well if paired to more than on phone.

I just updated to the new IOS 26-liquid glass. The reflective nature of the light is so distracting and causes migraines. I have tried all the so-call "fixes" for this: adjusting Display and Brightness, Reducing Transparency and Tinting however nothing works. I cannot use Dark Mode as well, because black background with white lettering also triggers migraines. This is affecting me being on my phone for everything, including emails, apps and texting. Does anyone have a true fix? I wish Apple would allow us the choice to go back to the classic settings.

I HATE this new update! It has made my phone complicated and even just closing a search is a pain!

issues with photos not showing up. Poor sharing with my ipad.

nothing that I like! I want my old phone back!

Did you send feedback to Apple, they won't see your post here.

Product Feedback - Apple

This site is simply made up of other Apple users offering their assistance with a specific issue. We have no ability to bring your phone back. Some will confuse this site with a Social Media site where it is a common place for rants, but they do no good here. There is not enough information to help with an issue closing a search or the reasons your photos are not showing up. I can say that I don't have any of those issues with iOS 26.1 and like the new update, but of course that is not helpful either.

I had a very bad experience with my iPhone 14 pro max IOS 26.2 my iPhone alerted me of an update and i already had the 26,1 . well i did the update last night and this morning my iPhone was dead. it didn't work at all, it asked me to connect to another device to restore it and i did connect it to my PC but the website was not found.

if i would've known that this was gonna happened i wouldn't have update my iPhone.

I made an appointment with apple but 12 Hours later My iPhone started working.

Check your battery health at Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Maximum Performance? If it is below 80% it is time for it to be replaced and there would likely be a Battery Service message as well.

After updating to iOS 26 facing lot of issues. Slowness, app hangs and closes, not functioning, crashing, battery drain out fast, facing heating issues. Wondering when new update will be released.

Updated my ipad with ios 26 last night and ipad is still not responding. No app is open, no button is responding and the battery is dying down without any action or activity on the ipad.

Cannot get my phone off DND! Also action button to force phone into vibrate mode isn’t working. You press the button and you see on the screen it being recognized but doesn’t do its function.

When I first installed IOS 26 I don’t have any issues. But now my cell glitches all the time and lags when opening apps.

My camera control button is kinda working because if I press on it it open te camera app and then I can’t zoom in anymore whit the camera control button

My phone is shutting down at random moment for no reason after i have downloaded the IOS26
