Already did, that’s the problem

Did you back up your phone before you installed the update? Maybe you can restore your phone to a back up that you have before the 26.3 was installed.

Do you sync your iPhone with iTunes? There could be a back up on that computer if you do.

Is there anything (data, photos, etc) on your iPhone that you cannot afford to lose if you did a factory reset on your phone? I'm just asking as that will be a question from the Genius Bar folks if you go to the Apple Store. You could "try" backing up your phone, then do a reset, then reload your data from the back up.

Good Luck Stan.

Not on a phone, but FWIW the browser on my iPad has been buggy since the iOS 26 update. It’s still working but at least a couple times a day it will freeze up and I’ll have to exit out of Safari and restart it. Was hoping the recent update was going to fix it, but still the same. It’s a shame, it worked perfect before this.

My iPhone 3 is working fine with my apps. I’ve tried everything short of a factory reset on the 13 mini. I did learn some things on cleaning up back ground issues that effected my phones that made my old iPhone work better. I believe my issue stands with the latest update. Otherwise id already gone with a factory reset.

Almost all my apps are affected currently. Luckily my old iPhone is working flawlessly. They’re paired through Wi-Fi. It’s actually a iPhone SE. I thought it was going to be unsupported the only reason I went to the 13. It just received and update. It’s smaller than the 13 mini. I actually prefer smaller iPhones. I can wait it out for a fix. Otherwise I’ll put the SIM card in the old phone and do a reset on the 13.

Apple store wasn't able to help you?

If you have everything that is on the 13 on the iPhone SE, then if I were you, I would bite the bullet and do the reset. But that is me. You do you.

According to my research it’s a known issue. I figured they will issue a fix soon. I’m assuming a reset will leave the latest update still activated after the restart. And reinfect. And my old iPhone is operating fine. The only thing missing is the flashlight.
