Some apps won’t connect to internet after updating my iPad to iPadOS 17.7.5
I recently updated the iOS of my iPad to the 17.7.5 version.
Right after completing the update I realised several apps wouldn’t connect to the internet.
some apps that are still working fine, and connected to the WiFi of my home, are:
safari, google chrome, gmail, maps, Facebook,VSCO, tiktok, weibo, X, Instagram, books…
some apps that have trouble (at least the ones I just discovered so far) are:
google maps - it opens and shows my location. But when you try to type into the search bar, it throws a “cannot reach the server”.
youtube - big black screen with the usual youtube logo and some of the shortcuts, but nothing works. It only says “error loading - type to retry”
vk - same as youtube, big black screen, shortcuts, menus, but nothing works. The only difference is that the message says loading error.
Airbnb - it looks like it will start, but never does. Only a white screen that looks grey and shows a glimpse of the page design but never gives even an error message.
Booking.com - it opens, allows you to type a place and select dates, but then it freezes like Airbnb, only it’s black. No message at all.
Xiaohongshou - it opens in the same place as the day before the update, but throws a “Internet correction error” and can’t refresh or search for new contents or tags.
i checked if they needed updates, but according to the Apple Store they are just fine. They all say “open” instead of “update”.
i tried uninstalling and reinstalling youtube, to see if it would help. It didn’t.
I do not have a VPN. I never had one, so that is not causing the problem (and I mention this because I read some other old posts in which that aspect was heavily discussed).
I also tried the restart, the refreshing of the network, tried with the automatic date and time, with the privacy and no privacy address,… and I even tried with the router, although I’m pretty sure it’s not the problem, since the other apps are just fine.
So, can you help me getting back my bunch of apps? I miss them, and somehow this iPad just became quite annoying
(and sorry Apple, but every single time I have to update I end up having a lot of issues that take a long time to fix and this, sadly, is not the exception…)
