iPhone SE lagging after iOS 15 update

I think after the iOS 15 this phone started to lag and sometimes it stuck and can’t go anything for few seconds. Is it just my phone or even others have the same issue?

Check device storage:

Check and optimize the range of the mobile network.

I also use an iPhone SE 2020, I experience no problems on iOS 15. Remember your phone accumulates a lot of data over time, so it may be a good idea to restart your phone once in a while. You can also make sure to delete data you do not use. The less memory your phone has, the harder it works to accommodate all the data it constantly sends and receives, the slower your phone will feel.

Do you think it has a connection with iCloud? My iCloud is nearly filled but I didn't think that it can affect the speed of a phone.


Also, I asked one of my close friends who uses the same phone as I am, about this issue, and he said even his phone is lagging. He also said that the phone is heating up as well.


What if the region matters? I mean, what if some features in new updates aren't available to our region? So it has some problem running smoothly?


I have no idea!
