Voicemails delayed since ios18 update

Since ios18 and the voicemail transcript feature I’ve been having issues with big delays between the message being left and actually getting it, the worst I’ve had so far is 11 days. Sometimes it delivers straight away and comes up on my phone live as they are leaving the voicemail, other times it takes forever to receive it.


I understand if the phone is off or low data it may not receive the Voicemail straight away, however voicemails can sometimes be very important, and these should be delivered as soon as you are next connected to a stable cellular or wifi connection, which is not the case here.




iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Well considering this new feature came with iOS 18 I think it’s a pretty safe bet…

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
