Hi
I am an iPhone 15 Plus user. After the 18.3.1 update, the maximum battery capacity was 100. After the update, it reached 98. The battery always drains quickly, but before talking, it was working perfectly. Please, if there is a solution

    Hi Essam Mohamed 🙋‍♂️, I apologize for the problem you are facing after the update. Unfortunately, this phenomenon may occur after major iOS updates. You can try restarting your device or even resetting the settings (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings). Don't worry, this will not delete any data from your device, but it may help solve the problem. If the problem persists, it may be best to visit an Apple Store or an authorized service center. 😊👍

This is true. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and 14 Pro. The same problem from update 18.3 to update 18.3.1. Is there a solution?

    Hi Khaled Alharbi 🙋‍♂️, It seems that you are facing a problem after the update. Unfortunately, you did not mention specifically what the problem is. But in general, if the problems persist even after the update, it may help to reset the iPhone to its original settings (of course after backing up everything first!). And if the problems persist, it may be a good idea to head to an Apple Store or an authorized service center. Because at the end of the day, I am just an AI with an abundant Apple brain 🍏😉!

Peace be upon you, the new update changed the email and made it very bad and has many problems. Is there a way to adjust the email and return it to its previous state?

    Hello Hatem Alsalhi 🙋‍♂️, I know that changes in programs can sometimes be annoying. Unfortunately, when applications are updated, it can be difficult to revert them back to their previous state. But there are steps you can follow to solve problems you may encounter with email:

    1. Try closing the app and reopening it.
    2. Try logging out of your email account and back in again.
    3. Go to “Settings” then “Mail” and make sure all settings are correct.

    If the issue persists, you may need to contact Apple Customer Service or visit an Apple Store for additional assistance. 😊📱

Good morning and good evening
Until now, I have not updated due to my fear of repeated charging due to the frequent battery shortage on the day, neither the last nor the day before 🤨
I lost my magnifier how do I get it back please 😓

    Good morning, Abu Walid
    For the frequent charging issue, this may be related to the programs you are using and not necessarily the update, it may be the applications running in the background that are the cause. As for the magnifier tool, you can restore it through Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. If the charging issue still persists, the update may actually be worth a try! 😉📱

It is advisable to mention the Apple Watch with every update released for the iPhone, iPad and Mac!
Apple Watch is no less important than iPhone!

    Hi Mohammed🍏Jassim, thank you for your insightful comment. I completely agree with you, the Apple Watch has its own importance and we follow its updates closely as well. But it seems that this time the article did not include a mention of the Apple Watch. In the future, I will make sure to mention updates related to it if they are part of the new releases. Thank you for your interest and dedication to following everything related to Apple! 🍎😉

The description in the update will never change and is the same every year😂😂😂😂 This update provides important bug fixes and security updates, and is recommended for all users. I know that the update is very important and we must update, but why did Apple not explain the fixes?

    Welcome to the world of iOS and technology! 😄 I'm with you, Apple seems to like ambiguity in describing updates. But honestly, these fixes usually relate to technical matters that may not interest the average user. It can be said that Apple wants us to trust it and not bother ourselves with small details. 😂🍏

    Hello Nader Aoun! 😊
    WhatsApp seems to be having a bit of a headache after the latest update, but don't worry, we have some tricks up our sleeve. 🎩✨
    First, close the app and restart it, often this is enough to solve the problem. If the problem persists, it may be a good idea to reinstall WhatsApp. Just make sure that backup is enabled in WhatsApp settings before deleting the app.
    If these steps don't help, WhatsApp may need to release a new update to fix this issue.
    I hope this helps! 🍏👍

I am still having problems since updating to IOS 18 and the device is restarting automatically and I don't know why, even though I updated my device to IOS 18.3, knowing that I update my device with every update without delay, is there a solution? May Allah reward you.

    Hello Ali Al-Qarni 🙋‍♂️, May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I apologize to hear about your problem with the latest update to iOS 18.3. This problem may be caused by an installation error or a problem with the software installed on your device. First, try restarting your iPhone properly (do not use a forced restart except in emergency situations). Second, updating all apps installed on your iPhone may help solve the problem. If the problem persists, performing a restore of your iPhone settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings) may help. This step will not result in losing your data, but you will have to reset some settings such as Wi-Fi and notifications. Hope this helps! 📱😊👍

Hello, Does this iOS 18.3.1 update contain the same bug fixes as the iOS 18.3 (22D64) re-release for iPhone 11?
Should I stay on iOS 18.3 because I'm afraid that if I update to iOS 18.3.1 I'll lose bug fixes exclusive to the iPhone 11 series?

Hello, I have not updated my iPhone for a long time. The last time I updated was when iOS 18 was released. But is there anything worth changing or improving? What I heard is that it is just a wish.

    Hi Saad Aldosari44 😊, I understand your hesitation to update, but let me tell you that updates are not just a desire, they are a necessity! Apple fixes bugs and updates security with every new version. This means that your device will be more stable and secure with every update. Things don’t always go well in the world of technology, and updates are Apple’s way of ensuring that your iPhone stays in tip-top condition 🌟. If you have hidden issues, an update might be the key to solving them!
