Apple is preparing to release iOS 18.0.1, which will address several bugs reported by iPhone and iPad users. This update is expected to be available approximately two and a half weeks after the launch of iOS 18, and it will focus on resolving issues such as app crashes and touchscreen responsiveness problems.
iOS 18.0.1 Testing Begins: Aiming for Bug Fixes
Apple has started testing iOS 18.0.1, a follow-up to iOS 18, focusing primarily on fixing bugs. Users have reported problems with the messaging app and touchscreen responsiveness, especially on newer iPhone models. The update is expected to improve system stability and performance across all devices. Details of the release notes have yet to be announced, but Apple is expected to roll out the update in the coming weeks.
Fixes for Messaging App and Touchscreen Issues
One of the main issues iOS 18.0.1 will address is the persistent crashing of the messaging app, which has affected many users. In some cases, users have also reported data loss. Additionally, the update will resolve touchscreen responsiveness issues, particularly for iPhone 16 users. Apple has recognized these bugs and is actively working on fixing them in this upcoming update.
iPadOS 18 Release Halt for Certain Models
iPadOS 18 has been temporarily suspended for certain models, particularly the M4 iPad Pro, after reports surfaced of devices becoming unresponsive after the update. Apple is currently working on fixing this issue, and a re-release is expected alongside iOS 18.0.1.
iOS 18.1 Update Coming Soon
While the release of iOS 18.0.1 is imminent, Apple is already preparing for iOS 18.1, which will introduce new features, including Apple Intelligence, designed to enhance the user experience. This major update is scheduled to be released in October and will include performance improvements and bug fixes.
