I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that the look & usability of the iPhone following the IOS 26 upgrade is dreadful. I hate it and now even considering switching to an alternative phone.
I’ve even upgraded to IOS 26.2 and it’s no better. My phone is changing settings by itself 😲
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26
iPhones don’t change settings automatically. A couple will be reset, such as loud sound warnings, and automatic updates will be turned on after an update (but can be turned off). No other settings change without help from a live human being.
But if you feel strongly, then switch. No one in this user-to-user forum cares what you do. However, before jumping ship you should consider reading some Android forums and seeing how those “alternate” users feel about their smartphones.
You have posted your phone number on a public, user to user only forum, visited by people from all around the world. NEVER post personal information on a public forum. I have asked the moderators to edit your phone number out for your protection.
If you are locked out of your iPhone due to your Passcode, see the following links depending on the message on your iPhone screen:
If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
My new, 4 weeks ol, lphone 16 pro max has become unusable due to Pass Code blocking system. Iam in the U.K. on U.K. My £700 iPhone is dead and useless.
