Problems after an iOS update? Stay calm — here's what helps
We see it regularly in our store: customers walk in with an iPhone that's acting up after an update. Apps freezing. Battery draining much faster than usual. Or network connections dropping out. It's frustrating, but in most cases there's plenty you can do before hitting the panic button. Below I'll share some concrete steps you can try yourself. And if you can't figure it out, feel free to stop by our store in Nijverdal.
Why do iPhone update problems occur?
Sometimes it's a minor incompatibility between an app and the new iOS version. Sometimes your phone is full and just needs a little time to re-index everything. And yes, occasionally there's a genuine bug in the update itself. We always say: start simple. Only bring out the heavy artillery afterwards.
Step-by-step solutions
Below you'll find the steps we most commonly recommend at The Phone Shopper. Start at the top and work your way down. Most people solve their problem within one or two steps.
- Check that you have a backup — Before doing anything drastic, make sure you have a recent backup in iCloud or via iTunes/Finder. Taking a few minutes to check can save a lot of stress.
- Restart your iPhone — Yes, it sounds almost too simple. But a restart can stop temporary processes and fix a surprising number of minor glitches. In our store we sometimes jokingly call it "the old-school reset."
- Update your apps — Open the App Store and update all your apps. Outdated app versions frequently cause issues after an iOS update.
- Free up storage space — A nearly full storage can cause all kinds of trouble. Delete unnecessary photos, videos, or apps. Freeing up just 1–2 GB can work wonders.
- Check network settings — If Wi-Fi or mobile data is acting up: toggle Wi-Fi off and back on, or reset your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
- Update again (minor updates) — Apple often releases a small patch shortly after a major update. Check whether a .1 or .2 update is available.
If apps keep crashing
Delete the problematic app and reinstall it. Old settings can sometimes keep causing issues. Also take a look at the App Store reviews — other users often report the same problem right after an iOS update.
Battery draining quickly?
We often get calls saying: "My battery is suddenly 30% faster since the update." This can happen because the system is re-indexing everything in the background. Leave your phone on the charger overnight and see whether things improve the next day. Still an issue after 48 hours? We'd recommend a battery test. At The Phone Shopper, we can run one for you quickly.
Going further: when should you reinstall?
If the tips above haven't helped, you can opt for a factory reset or a reinstallation via iTunes/Finder. It sounds drastic, but it often resolves stubborn problems. The key point: make a backup first. We've had customers skip that step and deeply regret it.
- Factory reset — Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.
- Reinstallation via computer — Connect your iPhone to your computer and restore it through Finder or iTunes. Choose "Restore" rather than "Update" if you want a completely clean start.
When should you see a specialist?
Sometimes hardware damage only becomes visible after an update. For example: the touchscreen isn't responding properly, and you assume it's a software issue. We recently saw a device where minor LCD damage only became apparent after the update. If you've worked through all these steps and are still having problems, come and visit us in Nijverdal. You'll find us at Willem Alexanderstraat 11, and we'll give you personalised help. Or just give us a call: 0548-549536.
What do we do in store?
At The Phone Shopper we start by checking the software and settings. We then measure the battery and run a full diagnostic. If there's a hardware issue, we repair screens, batteries, and other components. We can often help you the same day — especially if you pop in to our location.
Practical tips to prevent future problems
- Check online reviews shortly after a new release. If a lot of people are complaining, wait a week or two before installing it.
- Back up regularly. Automatic iCloud backups save a lot of hassle.
- Keep your apps up to date.
- Got an older device? Be extra cautious with major updates — older hardware can take a real hit.
