Potential issues with iOS 26 update

Within First 10 days mostly happy with iOS 26.

But it would be very good if the exposure Time of Fotos in the Camera App Could be Chosen manually up to 30 seconds when the iPhone is Static.

as

it was until iOS 18. otherwise it can not be used for Professional Night Fotos in RAW Modus, What is a pity.

Without providing any information additional information, we do not know if you have a VPN that still needs removed, performed a Force Restart, are experiencing this with one website or anything else, you best option may be to schedule an appointment with Apple.

I can tell you that I have 4 devices in my family that are all on iOS 26 and none of them are experiencing that, so it obviously is not a systemic problem affecting everyone. Not everyone in my family likes all the features either, but guess what, all of them don't like the same thing we have for dinner. I certainly am not going to make 4 different meals because each person wants something different.

Not happy - update has killed some of my apps like BBC News and BBC Sport. Neither work anymore.

Have you tried deleting the apps and re-installing them?

I had to do a hard restart. This fixed the issue.

I updated my phone to iOS 26 last week, and now my apple music isnt working. It has been perfectly fine and then stopped out of nowhere. My playlists wont load in my 'Home', and only will if I click 'Playlists' but even then the songs will not load. If I try search up a song to play, it will take me to another tab and then say "Cannot Load." I have reset my phone 3 times and have logged out of my Apple ID in general and in the app.

The update killed my camera gallery everytime I click on it it turns to a black screen with the loading logo then I can’t swipe too far on my phone or it will do the same thing as my phone gallery the update is okay we just need an update!

Similar problem here.

My iPhone 14 and my iphone 12 mini updated, both were locked out.

(I know it aint a passcode issue as my iPad uses the same passcode, and I can enter it there no issue.)

Support told me to try resetting it, I tried with the 14 fixed it, at the cost of my data.

The 12 though has all my 2FAs, so I can't reset it without losing those... SO I am stuck

However, interference around appliances is a normal occurrence. It has nothing to do with iOS 26 (or any other version).

AirTags are tracked fine on maps but I’m unable to use the find feature unless I restart my iPhone (iPhone 15 PM) Only works for about 2 minutes before not being able to find the AirTag even though I’m less than 2 ft away from it.

Wife (iPhone 15) is on iOS 18.6.2 & has no issues with the AirTags.

After updating my iPad to IOS 26.0.1, I started facing two major issues:

• Wi-Fi performance became extremely poor even when I sit right next to the router, the signal strength drops, and the connection keeps lagging or disconnecting. Other devices on the same network work perfectly fine.

• Battery drain increased noticeably — the battery level drops quickly, even when the iPad is idle and not in use.

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.

Hello~ You can let Apple know below…

A few more things to add

a reboot does help - but I’ve never had to reboot my phone multiple times a day.

some passwords won’t fill in - it’s hit or miss - sometime it does sometimes it doesn’t - same app

maps now weird inasmuch as when I try to map 2 points and replace “current position” it keeps saying “add a stop?” Which I’m not doing - but if you add a stop it actually then replaces - don’t believe it ever did this before.

personal - why did they bury “low power” mode an extra menu deep?

I like Apple I really do - but this is one of the worst iOS “upgrades” I’ve ever done.

im usually an early adopter and understand the risks but when you base the risk bs the reputation you expect more.

oh and photos have multiple issues and very sluggish

Lets Hope for better

Hello~ Have you tried a forced restart?

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Also…

If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working - Apple Support

If neither of the above help then as *IdrisSeabright* suggests…you likely have a hardware issue and have your iPhone chec by Apple.

Health app layout is horrible. To get to the schedule for wake up alarms is far less direct and unreliable. I set one the other day, made sure it was set to alarm but nothing. Thankfully it was a just in case thing.
