Apps are crashing in ios 18.6 and 18.6.1

Apps are crashing in ios 18.6 and now in ios 18.6.1 For example the messages app is crashing for me in ios 18.6.1 This happens when I go to type in a phone number and I go to hit the i button next to the number to remove from recents or to block the number and when I click the i button the message app crashes. Maybe they will fix this with ios 18.6.2 update There are other apps crashing too Ive noticed. Settings app is one too.

iPhone SE, iOS 18

I think since updating to 18.6.1 a couple of days ago lots has stopped working. This includes banking, email, Teams and the ability to check for IOS updates.

Logging in here only my work phone recived the login alert and it is on 18.5.

I am beginning to doubt already that may be it all started yesterday not on Friday. It seems like a cryptography issue. I am disturbed that It cannot check for new IOS updates.

The phone is an iPhone 14 Plus.


I found the problem - Surfshark was connecting to a stupid VPN location.
