7 Things to Know About the iPhone 7 iOS 12.4.1 Update
How to Prepare Your iPhone 7 for iOS 12.4.1 | ||||||||
 | ||||||||
If you haven't moved your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 12 or iOS 12.4.1 yet, make sure you spend some time preparing for the upgrade. If you spend 30 minutes or longer preparing for the update, you'll be ready for anything the software throws at you. We've put together a pre-installation guide that will take you through some steps we take before we install new iOS software on our devices. Getting familiar with iOS 12/iOS 12.4.1 before you install is important. So is digging into feedback from iOS 12.4.1 users. This feedback will alert you to potential benefits and problems. If you don't have a ton of time to spend preparing for iOS 12.4.1, make sure you check your backups at the very least. You probably won't lose your data during the transition from whatever you're currently running iOS 12.4, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. | ||||||||

I have a 7 plus and can’t make or receive calls after this update. It keeps saying call failed. It was fine before

Yes, me too! The solution:
• mute your iphone
• put mode “do not disturb”
• turn off “blue tooth”
Restart
Done.

Updating to IOS 12.1.3 messed up the app store. I can’t update any app without it asking me to confirm payment. Doesn’t matter what option I pick for payment, it doesn’t work. I can’t download any new apps either. It’s very frustrating.

I am new to iPhone 7 Plus upgraded from phone 6. (Both run ios12.1.3)
Huge difference experience on 7+ is that after using for sometime (5 ~ 30 minutes or maybe more within a session) keyboard starts to lags, and don’t responds to my touches. It makes typing seriously frustrated. Jaggy scrolling. Like the phone is busying other background tasks.
To overcome this, I need to press power button to lock the phone, then unlock it and it behaves normal again to continue what I was doing.
As for iPhone 6 I didn’t encounter this problem at all before.

Will iOS 12.2 fix the issues I have with my microphone? iOS 12.1.4 caused my microphone not to work. Now I am unable to make calls, use Siri, record videos with audio etc. I have a iPhone 7

Since installing this update, my VM is not working. Right now, it says my vm is full and I have no VM, no recent calls, nothing in the deleted vm. Of course, all says to contact my carrier but my sister is having same problem and her iPhone is newer and her carrier is different. What the heck!!!

When I turn my phone on silent mode it does not vibrate. Ever since the new update my phone stopped vibrating altogether!
While looking things up in Google or Safari I get no images… even those unwanted adds. NO images! So, if I look up directions and don’t understand them, I’m screwed… there is no images of the directions I SHOULD be able to see for an example!!

This update killed my phone and I now cannot restore it. I’m stuck staring at a screen that says plug into iTunes and go to support.apple.com. :( Very unhelpful. Guy at the phone store just wants to sell me a new one instead of helping me.

I think iOS 12 updates are also not yet gives use best interface. So You can’t Jailbreak your iDevices due to this new interface. So many of us can’t able to Download paid apps and games for free. Some you don’t need to Jailbreak your iDevices to get premium apps and games when you have third-party App Stores like Appvalley, FlekStore, and HipStore. You can get those third-party app stores from OM Geeky Blog. Thank you so much. You should also see more on https://omgeeky.com

I can now not open snaps and messages. The notifications are there, but when I go on the app there’s nothing. I’ve tried to turn the phone off, log out, nothing works. This annoys me.

My iphone 7 stopped ringing on phome calls and messages after upgrading to 12.3.1. It just vibrates. I’m losing important phone calls and messages. I checked ring volume and it’s ok. I’m even thinking of buying an Android phone if that issue is not fixed soon.

The iOS 12.4 was installed on my iPhone 7 Plus. So far there’s zero issues and it’s smooth sailing. There does seem to be less battery drain. I have never applied any jailbreaks.

Battery performance has dropped and sometimes the phone crashes due to abnormal battery performance.

Just upgraded from iPhone 5c to iPhone 7 and now having a multitude of issues especially after this update. Bluetooth, battery time, sometimes no rings or vibrations. Bluetooth doesn’t list discoverable devices.
Seems like a very unstable platform. Any ideas if they will fix these issues with patches or something???? Very frustrated. Thank you.
