Apple released the iOS 16 update in September and has since released a few more minor updates with bug fixes. The most recent update was iOS 16.2, released on December 13th. The update brings a new Freeform app, new always-on display options for the iPhone 14 Pro, lock screen widgets, 5G support for India, and more. In addition, the update introduced many new bugs and errors to the system, according to users.
Users on Twitter, Reddit and forums are complaining about an unusually high number of bugs and errors after installing the latest iOS 16 update. The problems are very different: Spotlight search freezes, the keyboard does not open in some applications, the battery drains too quickly, the Camera application freezes, problems with focus modes, bugs in the Apple Music app, HomeKit accessories not working, CarPlay freezes, etc.
Some users write that many applications freeze or even crash immediately after launch. There is also a common issue with the Home app in iOS 16.2. One of the new features of the update was the new architecture of the Home app. Apple promised faster and more reliable HomeKit accessories. As a result, some accessories stopped working altogether, and Apple had to withdraw the update.
Problems do not occur on specific iPhone models, but on all, starting with the iPhone 8. Even the newest iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models have been hit with frequent freezes when closing applications.
iOS 16.2 was released publicly after a month of beta testing, which lasted from October. During testing in October, November and December, Apple released 5 updates with bug fixes and issues found during testing.
Apple will most likely release the iOS 16.2.1 update ahead of iOS 16.3 in a few weeks. The company is currently testing the iOS 163 update, which will contain several new features.
