Apps not connecting to internet after iOS 18.5 update on iPhone XR

I have an Xr iphone. When it updated to 18.5 I noticed the apps were slow open. Now the apps will not connect to internet. The internet browser works, when I open an App it says off line. Also when I connect to a WIFI, the phone will say in the WIFI screen it is connected, but it stills says LTE. After I turn the phone off and back on it will work fine for a bout 30 Seconds then the same thing happens. Part of some of the Apps will work. For example my SiriusXM App will let me play the last thing I was listening to, but I have no access to any data on the apps. It just say you are offline. I tries a network reset, that did nothing.

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!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



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.
