Update Issues After iOS Update:

Visit the link in the App Store, and see if you can access on this device. If not, then it is not-yet compatible. If so, perform the download.

Logitech is not Apple. It is third-party hardware, and can be a bit of a pain when it comes to operability after an update install. So, see if you need to re-pair it, by removing it from your Bluetooth Device List(Settings > Bluetooth) and then hold down a pair button(if existent), nd then connect to it.

iPhone SE 2nd Gen. Same issue. Native apple apps wont load. Blank black screens. Phone, Message, Contacts, and Mail. Since phone/message app wont load I cant call/receive calls or send/receive texts. Big problem

I can tell you on my phone what apps aren't allowing me to log in. Any Apps that get diverted to a website to log in are coming up either blank or not at all.

If the app is logged in already, it's not a problem.

I even uninstalled all web browsers. Safari, Firefox, and Brave. It still didn't help.

I just removed an app and reinstalled it. Nope, did the whole. Change the setting, then restart the phone. I did the whole 5-minute wait even. The Login screen is completely white. I can't even highlight to see if there is anything on the page.

I have an iPhone SE 3, btw.

“same thing with my iphone 14 pro max. i can’t get into any apps, can’t call nor message, i’ve restarted my phone at least 10 times and still nothing the only app that works is settings and snapchat but i don’t even get notifications either”

So, do your part by reporting this to Apple.

"[...]the native apps continue to not work[...]"

-------

So, report it.

After about 18hrs of having iOS 26 installed, my native Apple apps are not working: messaging, email, phone, photos, etc. Third party apps seem to be working fine. I’ve closed all of the open apps and restarted my phone several times, but the native apps continue to not work. Also, in order to turn my phone off, I have to hit up volume, down volume, and then hold the screen lock button for five seconds (versus holding the up volume and screen lock button simultaneously).

This is for an iPhone 13 Pro.

Word has become unworkable after IOS26 update on my ipad pro. I have reinstalled, rebooted and tried everything. To no evail. Will there be any further updates?

You will have to ask Microsoft when they will offer an update. Word is not an Apple product and Apple cannot make changes to Word to allow it to work with iOS 26. Only Microsoft can do that. I'm experiencing problems on my iPad Pro, too.
