Should I wait to install the new iOS 26.1 version

Should I wait to install the new iOS 26.1 update? I use a iPhone 11 as my main phone and have had it for a couple years and I saw today that there was a new update for iOS which is 26.1 so should I wait a couple days? I’ve heard that there are several bugs with it and don’t want anything bad to happen. I turned off automatic updates for now so it Dosent automatically update for me can anyone help?

iPhone 11, iOS 18

Yes, give it the night to index your data. But I'd like to know what your battery health is on your iPhone. Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health - what is the percentage shown there. You have an iPhone 11. It was released in 2019, 6 years ago. If you have the original battery in your iPhone, it likely needed to be replaced some time ago. If the battery health is 80% or lower, your battery is degraded.
