The latest mobile operating system from Apple Inc — iOS 11, launched in September 2017 recorded several critical bugs by its early adopters. They are experiencing myriads of problems on their iPhone or iPad devices with iOS 11 as its OS.

Listed below are some of the challenges with iOS 11 and the potential solutions to overcome them.

1) Battery Drain

This issue is an outcome of an iOS version update. The next-generation iPhone devices with iOS 11, specifically iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X remain unaffected, thanks to the A11 Bionic chip which results in battery working for a considerable amount of time. However, the iPhones with an older processor reported a faster drop in battery life. Even Apple confirmed recently that iOS 11 slows down the older iPhones to handle the power output of aging batteries. To help the customers, Apple offered a battery replacement to the owners of iPhone 6 and subsequent models at an additional cost of $29-$50.

Potential Solution:

Users might want to hold to the iOS11 migration until the issue gets resolved in the forthcoming update. However, for the ones who have downloaded this OS can downgrade it back to iOS 10.3.3.

Also, identify the apps which are taking up much power via Settings > Battery power. You can either delete or adequately quit the apps that drain the battery power or used minimally.

2) Device Overheating

Not only have users been complaining about the mobile phone getting extremely hot, but some also claim to have experienced swelling issues that made their iPhone 8 or 8 Plus to burst open. The battery swells due to gases inside, the expansion then pressures the display and make pop open. Though the burst open of the phone device helps to avoid a fire, one still needs to make sure that the device does not overheat.

Potential Solution:

If overheating occurs while using any specific app, then refrain from using it for some time.

Turn off Location Services via Settings > Privacy > Location Service.

Also turn off the Bluetooth through Settings > Bluetooth, or from the Control Center.

Quit apps running in the background by clicking the Home button twice.

If the phone overheats during charging, unplug the charger and let it cool down for a while.

3) Apps not Working in iOS 11

Apple warned iOS 10.3 users that it would soon pull support for 32-bit apps. iOS 11 made the change official, and the 32-bit apps will refuse to get launched on your phone. You will receive a pop-up notification with a message that the developer is required to release a 64-bit update for the app to work.

Potential Solution:

Check the apps, which are 32-bit via General > Settings > About > Applications. If there are 32-bit apps, then there would be an arrow next to the applications on the phone. Tap on the section to view the list of the apps that do not have updates available.

If the tapping on the application does not lead to next window, then there is no 32-bit app installed on the phone.

Conclusion:- iOS app developers are trying to overcome these iOS 11 app issues by developing iOS apps compatible with the latest OS by Apple.
