The camera on my iPhone 15 just shows a black screen since updating to iOS 18.3.2.

Have try all the resets suggested without success. Going to Apple Store (which is 50 miles away!) this weekend to see if they can help.

AT&T.


I have tried those switches. Is there a way to talk with Apple and AT&T at the same time?


After doing more research it seems as if it is Verizon not enabling RCS and/or Android phones. I’m thinking at this point, to pull out all the non Apple texters in the group, then starting a separate group for them. It seems awfully cumbersome but I see it as a possible workaround. I do use WhatsApp and that doesn’t appear to have these issues.


I have had success in the past with Apple Support but I seem to be running into a stumbling block with this issue.

Yes, I’ve had Apple engineers talking to AT&T engineers. Long story short, but it requires patience and a good presence on the phone to continuously raise the level. Once I got them talking the AT&T engineer resolved the issue in 30 seconds. I was a happy camper.


But yes, both AT&T engineers and Apple engineers can easily talk to each other.

The Ring security camera app appears to be malfunctioning under the recent iOS update 18.3.2 that was just installed on my iPhone 11 Pro. When login to my Ring account is attempted, the app returns a “406 Not Acceptable” error code. Please advise how this can be rectified.

Hello!


Reach out to the Support Team of the company that made the security camera.


Good Luck!

Seems as though it’s caused a few issues for me with my Face ID


My Face ID works for when I want to get into my phone, but has seemingly stopped working for a lot of my apps (banking, Apple Store etc)


I tried the usual uninstalling, deleting, switching off etc but nothing works.


The result is me having to remember passwords for a lot things which is quite annoying.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried that multiple times and sadly still no joy.

iOS 18.3.2 didn't impact any of my banking apps ability to use FaceID. In fact, no app, which is set up to use FaceID was impacted. If any are for you, and you've tried the suggestions here, have you deleted the App, then reinstalled it and signed in again, making sure you set up FaceID in the banking app settings? If that doesn't work, then it's time to contact the bank directly for help.

I'm having a similar issue. The actual camera app works fine for me but if I am using any other app (Snapchat, Instagram, Fetch) these apps will only let me use the front facing camera. A couple of times Snapchat has shown me a black front facing camera screen as well. I hope they are able to provide you with some answers!

You are referring to 3rd party apps, none of which are owned by Apple and none of which Apple has any influence or control over. The App Developers of those apps need to take responsibility for anything which isn't working as it should. Apple can't touch the code in their apps.

I regret updating my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Five nights ago, while I was sleeping, my phone updated itself. When I woke up, it said “No Storage” and had Stolen Device Protection turned on. I disabled it, but my phone still wouldn’t let me delete apps to free up space.



When I restarted it, it got stuck on the Apple logo for five days—right in the middle of my honeymoon. I lost so many pictures, even though my phone WAS BACKED UP. Somehow, my iCloud removed a bunch of stuff!!!! including a year’s worth of contacts. Today, I went to the Apple Store in LA, and they had to completely wipe my phone. Now, I only have 30 photos from the most important week of my life, even though everything was supposed to be backed up.




I cried at the Apple Store because some of my best memories are gone. If you’re considering this update, back up everything manually—this update completely messed up my phone. They also said this could happen again

I have to keep restarting my phone. When I wake up in the morning, my messenger decides it don’t wanna work every single day. My microphone somehow turned itself off. I don’t know why. I don’t know how to fix it because it don’t show a microphone option anymore. I cannot call on any app. I cannot voice record on any app. I cannot take photos on any app. I cannot send photos on any app. I have to keep restarting my phone. I have an iPhone 16. It also will not let me use my mobile hotspot or my data. And yes, I fixed every bit of it to where it should. My husband Samsung S 25 is perfect. But for some reason, my iPhone 16 ain’t?

Don’t do it. I have a 13 Pro Max and updated to 18.3.2. Now the back camera and flashlight aren’t working. A force restart fixed it for a couple of hours but they’re back to black and not going on and the restart doesn’t work anymore.

You do realize there are millions upon millions upon millions of iPhone 13 owners out there who have updated to iOS 18.3.2 without issue, right? Advising someone NOT to update because you have an issue, isn't the right approach. By not updating, people are leaving their phones vulnerable to exploits which updates patch. That's never a good thing to avoid.


You need to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar to see why YOU are having the issue you described.

When I have an outgoing call I do not hear ringing. Also, I will have an incoming call that is coming through silently, but I do not have do not disturb on, my phone is not on silent, the phone does not vibrate. I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I've had continual issues with it since I bought it.
