Any issues with the latest iOS 18.3.2 software?

It would always allow to me log into my banking app using face ID

now despite it being turned on, it never even gives me that option. Instead I now have to enter my passcode each and every time. Can’t find a way for it to work.

That’s only one screen in Messages Settings. This not an easy issue to resolve remotely. More suitable for a hands on approach with an Apple Store Genius, in my experience.

I've only had one messages issue with all the iPhones I've owned. And what ended up working, and perhaps what I should have suggested to Squirt was a conference call with me, my carrier and Apple higher level support. They worked together on the call to solve the issue for me. But you're right. Things are more complex with the addition of RCS, which requires support on all the carriers sides.

If your iPhone won’t update, please see: If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support.

👉 If you see error 9, 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your iPhone

Have a nice day, and good luck!

I’m not sure what went wrong, but ever since the update, the sound quality and volume have dropped significantly.

Whenever I play something, the audio comes out distorted and crackly.

P.S. I recently visited the service center for a battery replacement, and they also cleaned the speakers. Everything was working perfectly before the update.

Hello!

Please see the following Support Article: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

Have a great day!

I see, thanks Jeff and Lobster. Much appreciated.

The why questions generally require the engineers to answer. There is not a path for consumers to directly talk with the engineers. Why? It doesn’t make sense to have people making mid 6 figures answering support calls. It never happens in the general context of customer support. General support team members will escalate issues to higher levels of support until it eventually reaches a senior support engineer talking to engineers.

Now with that said, the screen before the one I shared has relevant switches/buttons to try as well.

Who is your carrier?

No issues As of now ,but aware few users have posted they got yellow/white death screen after updating.

doesn't know is it true or not ?

But keeping the device to latest update is best as it removes all the bugs in previous OS

Every update will have issues for some users. There’s a multitude of reasons, but many are the result of third party apps not being updated by their developers or optimized for the latest iOS versions. This is out of Apple’s control. It’s just a fact of ever changing technology. Expecting perfection is not a realistic expectation. Instead, determine the few apps and services that are mission critical and confirm with users that they are optional and you can carry out your mission critical daily tasks.

I believe it is very much Apple’s issue. It is related to their messaging App. It has nothing to do with perfection. It has to do with them recognizing the update has flaws and they need to be fixed. We, as users expect our services to be provided without interruption when we did nothing to change those services.

You're making a claim there is an issue with the Messages App? I'm on iOS 18.3.2 on multiple iPhones and iPadOS 18.3.2 on multiple iPads and yet I have experienced absolutely no issues with messages. No one I know who is on iOS 18.3.2 is having any issues with Messages. To assume everyone who is using iOS 18.3.2 is having the same issue as you is like visiting a hospital, filled with sick people and coming to the conclusion everyone is sick.

Instead, why not tell us what issues you may be having and we may be able to help you.

Yes, there is a problem with 18.3.2. I can receive group texts but I cannot send in that group. I can send to individuals separately but not in the group. It did not show up as an issue until the 18.3.2 update.

I am having this problem (initiating a group text), also. I go to Messages, then "Lists" (groups of contacts) and choose the list, but then there's a dead end and you just have to Cancel. I can still manually send group texts, but can't use the "Lists" feature to auto-populate the recipients line.

Other than this, no issues with iOS 18.3.2, so far.

I'm using a Pro Max 16, but I don't use a lot of apps on it. Mostly the basics.

Is there something wrong here? 😊

Yes, I have a iPhone 15 pro max, and now no microphone settings or Siri doesn't work, no voice memos, recording doesnt work either, no speak to text, and when placing a call thus far, when I call I have to put them on speaker or all you hear is loud static... I have tried everything, ever with apple support online! Thus far except next step is factory resetting the phone. Which is going to suck!! I had no issues with my phone until I did this update!!!

It certainly could be an Apple issue. Apple produces millions of iPhones every year and has billions (yes, billions) of iPhones currently supported worldwide. I see relatively little evidence for your supposition that Apple Messages (iMessages) has pervasive issues affecting substantial numbers of Apple users.

Do you have any symptoms or experiences you would care to share so we can try to assist?

Did an Android user start the group chat? There are known issues when mixed groups of Google Android users and Apple Messages users mix. These issues are not easily resolved because of the required cooperation between large multinational corporations. For all we know Apple may (or may not) have resolved the interoperability issues that are on their end.

Are you near an Apple Retail Store that it might be convenient to make an appointment and share your experiences with an Apple Store Genius? A lot of times when a technician can actually see the issue it might easily be resolved.
