iOS 12.1 = Steaming Turd

Anyone else get suckered into downloading iOS 12.1? I almost always wait a few months but this time I was off my game and just installed without waiting for a few patches to be released. What a mistake. So many bugs. So, so many bugs.

- Hyperlinks in e-mails no longer work.
- Cant forward a photo to e-mail or text from the photo app.
- Cant click on alerts to enter into the app for that alert.
- When typing in an e-mail or text, the cursor will randomly jump to the next line like you clicked the "return" button.

These are just the bugs I've found in the past day since installing. Cant wait to see what else is hiding in there.

Ready to throw my phone out the window.

Installed it day 1 and it fixed my app crashing bug I had with Mail.

No complaints. None of the symptoms you indicated. It's the best iteration of the OS so far.

I think you may need to install it fresh unfortunately. I always do OTA updates and have been lucky so far, but understand this may not always be the case.

I don't like that Siri will only read one email at a time instead of three and will now only read the sender and subject, but not the email. Maybe there is a setting I need to find to revert back to the way it worked before.

Yeah, I think you may be right. it's really getting wonky on me. I cant flip back and forth from my personal email account to my work email. I have to close the mail app, re-open it, and select the account I want to see. Something is definitely off. Time to go find my IT guy and ruin his day.

Having major email issues with the update. Can't email reply with a pic without double reply to the sender, extra long wait when I click the screen to add file and when i add it the file doesn't send.

Camera Clips app has had an update waiting since I downloaded the 12.1 update and everytime I click it it won't dl the update. Says it is but once it gets going it reverts back to previous status.

Haven't tried all else but this needs a patch ASAP. Otherwise iOS 12.1 is aight.

I'm having the same issues! I didn't think about it being because of the update but now that I think about it that's when everything went to shit. Any word on a fix??

I think it's a sign... I'm going to check out the Galaxy s10 or that foldable one that's coming out if they are as special as they're rumored to be. Apple has been losing their way imo. Keep jacking prices and clinging to their walled garden of software and refusing to add stuff Android has had for years like removable storage. I'd bemoan the headphone jack thing but rumor is Android phones might start to follow suit.

I downloaded it a few days ago, and literally have none of the issues you are mentioning. I typically read the Forbes 'should I download' articles that come out with each minor and major IOS update. Sometimes I update, sometimes I wait based on what the articles say. I've yet to have any issues.

See guys, I'm not crazy! OK, debatable, I know.

I'm handing it over to one of my IT guys this morning to see what he can do. Will let you know.

No issues for me on 12.1. I think this release is just some bug fixes for 12 - not a major release. I had no issues with 12 either.

My phone is fixed! My IT guy backed up the phone, wiped it clean, and did a fresh install of iOS 12. All problems are gone. Guess this thread needs to be re-titled "iOS 12.1 INSTALLER = Steaming Turd."

For you dudes contemplating the update, I'd recommend backing up to iTunes first, then install. Just in case you have to go back and start fresh.

It hasn't been too bad on mine, a few glitches here and there where the phone freezes, goes black for a second, then returns to the home screen.

iOS in general sucks. I bought a Google Pixel back when they first came out, left it on 7.0 and works like a charm since. Don't plan on changing it in the future either. I have a work-issued iPhone and I dislike having to use it. Even little things in the OS are so frustrating to deal with.

I don't understand how people mindlessly flock to Apple still. Around here it seems literally everyone and their mother has one, and they look at me weird for not having one....
