Saved passwords reverting after iOS update.

Why do passwords I have saved for various apps reset EVERY time I do an iOS update? I usually think it’s not every app, but I’m starting to think it is, I just don’t use them all right after an update. Every app in which I change the password in between updates. It’s not like they are even erased, they revert back to a previous saved password. It’s incredibly annoying.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

I’m not sure I understand the purpose of your question. I force-close apps, yes. Not aware of any other way to close an app? Why would that revert my password to an old version after an update?

I’ve never had a problem with any of my 350 passwords resetting.

Are you in the habit of force-closing apps by swiping up on their screen image in the app switcher?
