A lot of issues with iOS 26.1

I am using a smaller screen SE3 model and my wife has the SE2 model. The iOS26.1 update seems to not have been designed for smaller screen models because words are overlapped in at least once screen mode.

Are you using a Larger Text size, especially the ones in Accessibility settings?

Change the font size on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Thank you for your reply. Reducing the text size does not reduce the size of the tool bubble at the bottom of the screen when viewing a web page on my SE3. This tool bubble takes up a continuous 25% of the viewing screen when the screen is still unless I scroll down. I'd really like to see the tool bar sized to Compact but my phone will not give me that option. I can only choose Bottom or Top in the Tabs setting of Safari. On our SE2, this is not the case. The tool bar does not take much viewing space at the bottom of the screen and Tabs is set to Compact in Safari. If I can figure out a way to get my SE3 to allow me to set Tabs in Safari to Compact, a lot of my issues would be resolved where web page viewing is concerned because I'd be able to view more of a web page and have access to controls/settings on a given web page. Should I install iOS26.2 to see if any of the bug fixes apply to my concerns/issues?

Well, Android phones are absolutely perfect! No one who has one has ever complained about any feature of it. Just visit some Android forums to see for yourself!

I particularly like the ones over that that say they are fed up with their Android phone and are switching to an iPhone. Sound familiar?

Recently updated and HATE it! When sharing a contact, you cannot include notes. OOOOLLLLDDDD and long deleted texts are showing up in the "Unknown Senders" - the contact isn't even in my list any longer. Tried to send a new text to a contact, and it pulled up an old, deleted text, from 3 months ago to add to. The camera app is HORRIBLE and cumbersome. The format to delete emails has changed and you have a tendency to by fat fingered. Connectivity to various apps is slow or nonresponsive. WHEN DOES THE FIX COME OUT?!?

Yea we know. For some reason some people think that saying they are going to buy an Android effects us or maybe it simply makes them feel better. Who knows, I really don't care what device someone uses and in my extended family there are both Android and iPhones. Others think that YELLING will get them the appropriate attention. This is simply a support site made up from other users like you and is not a Social Media site where that kind of behavior is commonplace.

Well hundreds of millions of users seem to think that their iPhone is working just fine. So you should consider troubleshooting the issues with your specific iPhone.

Update is incompatible with Mercedes Benz Bluetooth unless very new models. It picks the in car system as AirPods and cannot use phone or listen to podcasts or Bluetooth music from iPhone

Yes, as soon as I disable the VPN the Nationwide App allows me in.

I am running ExpressVPN v12.34.0 (162429)

That is why you don't see a recommendation here to use any VPN.

is Photos turned on in iCloud Settings on the phone?

iPhone, Settings, [tap your name], iCloud,Photos

If is is then you cant import.

Yes 'Sync this iphone' is same as 'turned on'

No I am not saying you have to sync, just that if you tried to do both you would have a problem.

His screenshot also shows he’s using wifi, probably in the office or house I’m guessing, so wouldn’t the phone prioritise data etc via wifi and only commit to a cell tower when a call is required?

When i hit info on my messages, no “photo” section pops up - ive restarted, ive turned imessage on off, nothing. New iphone 17 here… whats the deal ?!?

BS. The app store wont even open, it will not connect to the internet with very few exceptions.

Entirely despise 26.1.

I now HATE my phone!!!

iPhone user for over a decade.

I want a **** Samsung.

26.1 can go back to ****.
