iphone 13 slow after update to IoS 18.

Exactly that. Recent updates have caused my phone to slow down.

cannot always scroll the screen and select an item - in safari or email.


some apps hang like they are waiting to connect before showing me the chat or the bus route whatever it is.


and emails are outrageously slow. If I search for an email it will find 5 relevant emails which it shows me

and then it refreshes. Then hangs. Before repeating this.


meaning I cannot get anything done.


it means I need to log into my laptop to view my emails!!!


whst on earth has happened and how do I resolve it?


this happens on home wifi, office wifi and on mobile. So I don’t think it’s the connection that’s the issue.
