Besides the fact that iOS 11 offers users many new and useful functions, this update also brings a lot of problems that will only be fixed with the next system update. The most common mistakes and iOS problems 11, as well as how to solve them, we described in this article.
Installed apps crash or freeze
If you encounter a similar problem on your device, you can try the following solutions to fix it:
- Make sure the app is updated to latest version... To do this, go to App Store and open the "Updates" tab. See if there is available updates for freezing applications.
- If there is no update or it is there, but it did not help to solve the problems, uninstall the application and reinstall it.
If none of these steps helped to solve the problem, then wait until such applications are updated - the developers will optimize them for new version systems and freezes will stop.
Control Center buttons do not disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
WITH the release of iOS 11 pressing the "Wi-Fi" or "Bluetooth" button does not disable these functions, but only disconnects the device from the access point and disconnects the connection with all connected via Bluetooth devices, except Apple Watch and Apple Pencil.
For complete shutdown Wi-Fi and Bluetooth need to go to "Settings" and turn them off in the corresponding sections.
Unable to send emails using an Outlook.com or Exchange account
If you are using Accounts Outlook.com, Office 365, and Exchange 2016 have probably encountered an error in standard application"Mail" in iOS 11 - letters are moved to the "Failed to send" folder, and the system notifies that the server has rejected the message.
Apple works in collaboration with by Microsoft to resolve this issue, and a corresponding fix will be released in the next software update. Microsoft advises users to upgrade to Outlook app for iOS, available in App store Store.
No syncing messages to iCloud
From the very beginning iOS beta testing 11 Apple tested the function of saving correspondence to iCloud. It allowed you to synchronize messages through cloud storage for everyone Apple gadgets... For example, a user could receive an expensive SMS on his iPhone, and answer it at home using his iPad.
In the last iOS beta 11 this function was removed and sent for revision. Apple said it will be available in one of the iOS 11 updates, but the company did not give an exact timeline.
The device does not connect to Wi-Fi
If you cannot connect to Wi-Fi networks, try restarting your iPhone, iPad or iPod. If this method does not work, then you need to reset the network settings: go to "Settings" → "General" → "Reset" → "Reset network settings". If this step did not help, then go to "Settings" → "General" → "Reset" and select "Reset all settings". When executing last action all settings and applications on your device will be deleted and the device will reboot. After going through the first setup, try connecting to a Wi-Fi network - now everything should work.
The device does not catch the network well
If your gadget has iOS control 11 connection is constantly lost, go to "Settings" → "General" → "Reset" and select "Reset network settings". The problem should now be resolved.
Apps are not downloaded from the App Store

If you encounter any problems in iOS work 11 that are not described in this article, write us about them in the comments. We will definitely find ways to solve these problems and tell you about them.
Some users who have updated their devices to, write that their iPhones and iPads have become slower or cannot cope with basic tasks how applications start and work properly. If you know this feeling, then you can try different ways speed up, which we will discuss below.
Many of these methods will help not only speed up the device, but also save battery power.
How to speed up your workiOS11 oniPhone andiPad
We will look at various methods, the first two of which are worth doing first, and the rest you can try in any order.
1: Install the latest versions availableiOS and applications
First you need to update your software and all your applications. Perhaps the problem is in the system itself, and its bugs were fixed in an update that you have not yet installed.
To install available iOS 11 updates (like iOS 11.0.2, iOS 11.1, etc.):
- Open Settings> General> Software Update> Download and Install iOS Update
To update apps:
- Open the App Store and go to the Updates tab. Install all available updates there.
2: Just installediOSeleven? Wait a little
If you've just installed iOS 11 and your device feels slower, you can just wait a bit. Big updates are slowing down devices as iOS needs to be reconfigured for Search, Siri, Photos, and other background tasks. The tuning process can slow down the entire system.
It's best to wait a couple of days and not touch the device unnecessarily at all. Usually after two days, the device starts working normally or even better than before. This solution will help fix battery problems as well.
3: Disable Content Updates
Content Refresh allows apps to update themselves. It improves multitasking performance, but slows down the system. The feature is easy to disable and most users won't even notice the difference in application performance.
- Open Settings> General> Content Update> Off.
4: Disable suggestionsSiri
You can speed up Search & Notifications by turning off Siri Suggestions.
- Go to Settings> Siri & Search> Search Suggestions and Find Suggestions and turn off both.
5: Force restart the device
Sometimes the performance of the device can be improved forced reboot especially if some background process slows it down.
For most iPhone models and iPad for this you need to hold down power button and buttonHome until it appears Apple logo on the screen.
On iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, you need to pinch volume down button and power button before the logo appears.
After that, you just need to wait until the device turns on.
6: set a simple wallpaper
Using a small solid color wallpaper can also help speed up your device. They demand less memory therefore, it is easier for the system to load them.
- Go to Settings> Wallpaper> and select a boring, small size monochrome image.
The home screen won't look very good (or vice versa, depending on your taste), but the device may start to run faster. You can use the little gray wallpapers below or find yours similar.
7: Enable Reduce Motion
iOS uses many visual effects that look great but load the system. By disabling these effects, you can improve the performance of your device.
- Open Settings> General> Universal access> Reduce movement and turn on the switch.
* It is better to turn off the autoplay function of message effects, as they can also slow down the system.
When you enable the function, the effects of opening and closing applications will be replaced with simpler animations.
8: Turn on Downgrade transparency
iOS is full of blur and transparency effects in Control Center, Notification Center, etc. They look good, but they slow down the system. These effects can be turned off.
- Go to Settings> General> Accessibility> Increase contrast> Decrease transparency and turn on the switch.
With this feature, the display will not look so pretty, but the device will run faster.
9: Free up more memory
The more on the device free memory, the faster it will run. Ideally, you should have 10% or more free memory. If you have a device with 32GB of storage, then you need to free up at least 3GB. This is necessary so that there is room for the cache, application updates and the system itself.
- Open Settings> General> Storage (or iPhone / iPad Storage).
it important point because when your iPhone or iPad runs out of storage, it slows down as well. You may have problems receiving emails, deletion of data, etc. Try to always have a little free memory.
10: reset the settingsiOS
In some cases, a factory reset can speed up the device. Please note that after this you will have to re-configure each item in the settings.
- Open Settings> General> Reset> Reset All Settings.
11: Make a copy and restore from itiOS
A popular way to fix system problems is to do backup devices via iTunes or iCloud, and then restore iOS from it. This can fix problems with the operation of the device. This is often the solution Apple offers when users turn to it for help.
You can save a copy to iTunes, iCloud, or anywhere at once. After that, connect your device to your computer, launch iTunes and select "Restore * device *". You can also recover on the device itself by choosing iCloud or iTunes.
Some users prefer to set up their device as new. In this case, all data, images, photos, notes, applications, contacts, etc. are lost. That is why it is better to restore the device from a copy.
Is it possible to roll back fromiOS11 toiOS 10?
Some people decide to roll back to the previous version of the system altogether.
It used to be possible, but recently Apple
September 19 (release date) Released IOS 11, many have already managed to update, because so many features have been announced. Some even thought that augmented reality would "arrive" on their 5S. It will be possible to run cool games, to measure the height of a person - but fig! Let's not pull rubber and go straight to the "tin"
Battery life
Yes, iOS 11 "eats" battery power, as if not into itself. What? Similar problems there have been before, when iOS 7, 8, 9, 10 updates arrived. Then everything was decided, but, for example, it seems to me that the most optimal power consumption was in iOS 6. Unfortunately, in the first build official release The 11th version of ayos is obvious problems with charge consumption - that's for sure. And keep in mind that everything on my iPhone is optimized for minimum consumption: geolocation services are disabled, sleep modes are set, if not necessary, cellular data transmission is disabled, only supported network types are selected (4G is not supported by the operator) and much more.
Games and programs won't start
I was going to play my favorite igruhu, which literally flooded the other day, and I went through a bunch of puzzles, after six months of inactivity. In general, I launch, and: “It is necessary to update such and such a game. The developer needs to update this program to work with iOS 11. "
Well, everything, the mood is spoiled. The developer is unlikely to update, there is not even advertising there, but I got it for free, it seems, within the framework of some wave of Apple's unprecedented generosity, which is called “on the ball”.
Turn-on speed
Yes, now my iPhone 5S starts up and reboots much longer than it was for "dozens". By the way, do not forget that the "nine" worked even faster. Wow, soon we will wait for the download for an hour. Although no, just kidding next update the smartphone will not receive at all.
The keyboard slows down
Thank you, of course, but by at least, the first day of the update rollout, the keyboard was buggy, wildly. The typing of letters just infuriated me, it felt like I had a deshman Android smartphone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread for $ 20. For the sake of truth, I will say that after a while the cache was created and now it got better, but the set is not perfect anyway.
Streaming playback
Wow, here you guys are just d # beels. Now, instead of streaming playback "on the fly", there is some kind of built-in player, which does not rip out the direct address from the player, but reproduces it according to some unknown schemes. It became worse to work, because it loads longer, often bugs, often does not reproduce at all. I looked at the iPad, there is no such crap (there old version iOS). The same vidos are played normally.
And with some update on the top ten, the ability to listen to videos from YouTube in the locked screen mode has disappeared. Yes, what do you think to yourself when you do this?
Now you have to use the stupid UC Browser to listen in the background, okay, right?
That's all, do not forget that yesterday another article came out from me, which reveals as many as 3 reasons why it is worth updating to iOS 11.
If your old iPhone is sluggish after updating to new iOS 11, there are several ways to fix these stutters.
1. Free up space.
An iPhone with memory full or at its power limit tends to run slower. You can reduce the load by uninstalling apps you no longer use and unnecessary photos and videos (or move the ones you want to save to the cloud). IOS 11 introduces several new tools to help you recover storage space. Go to Settings> General> Storage and using iCloud"and select" Manage storage "in the" Storage "section. Here you will see a colorful chart showing how much space you are using and how much free space you have left. Below the diagram, you will receive several recommendations on how to save storage space, including the newfound ability to offload unused applications, enable iCloud Photo Library, automatically delete old conversations (SMS and attachments over a year old), and view large attachments.2. Transition to HEIF.
IOS 11 introduces file formats for photos and videos, the use of which results in smaller files. Photos use HEIF format and videos use HEVC format... If you're like most iPhone users, your photos and videos take up the most memory space. Go to Settings> Camera> Formats and select High Efficiency to use the new HEIF formats and HEVC.
3. Update applications.
Older apps may not run as smoothly or quickly on new iOS 11 without updating them. After updating your iPhone to iOS 11, check to see if the apps have updates as well. Open the Appstor app, click on Updates and select Update All to update all applications at once.4. Say no to automatic updates.
As in previous versions, iOS 11 launches processes in background to make your life easier. For example, apps update themselves in the background, which saves you the hassle of constantly looking at the warning icons on the App Store app icon.Updating apps in the background, however, is a process that takes up your device's CPU time (not to mention battery). You can disable this feature and update your apps manually via App App Store.
To do this, go to Settings> iTunes & App Store and tap the switch to turn off Updates under " Automatic downloads". (The other three options: Music, Applications and Books and Audiobooks, are intended for sharing downloads among your iOS devices. Any new purchases you make from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store are automatically synced across your devices.)
5. Background loading of data by applications.
In addition to updating, when you're busy, apps also update their content in the background. For example, your Facebook timeline or Twitter feed will update without your input when you open the app. Of course, this is useful, but it takes time and power from the processor.To turn this off, go to Settings> General> Background App Refresh and turn off the toggle switch. Or you can take a personal approach and leave background update applications enabled at the top and disable it for individual applications from the list below.
6. Reduce transparency and motion effects.
Apple uses a range of effects to give iOS a sense of depth when you tilt your phone or open and close apps. These motion effects tend to improve appearance but not if they result in choppy animations. To turn off animations, go to Settings> General> Accessibility> Reduce Motion and press the toggle switch to turn off the effects. You can also turn off the autoplay effects on messages, but they bring some fun to texting.Then go back to the screen special features, tap the bar above Reduce Motion under the Increase Contrast heading, and tap the toggle switch to turn on Reduce Transparency. This setting reduces transparency and blur effects, ostensibly to improve readability, but can also speed up performance by freeing your device's processor from unnecessary graphics tasks.
7. Restriction of location services.
Location services are time consuming autonomous work more than performance, but if your iOS device is draining its battery faster with iOS 11, it's time to cut down on the number of apps that use your device's GPS to determine your location. iOS 11 gives you more control over how and when apps access your location. Application developers will no longer be able to offer only 2 options "Always" and "Never" for tracking options in location services. Now you will be able to select "On Application" whether the developer likes it or not. Go to Settings> Privacy> Location Services to configure settings for all of your applications that use location services.
8. When in doubt, restart your smartphone.
When all else fails, you can always try restarting your device. If your iPhone has been running continuously for days or weeks, give it a break, turn it off and back on. Sometimes simple reboot able to cheer up the phone.Many users mobile devices strongly advise against installing new software iOS software 11, because after downloading it on devices appears great amount problems: errors, lags, application crashes, spontaneous reboots and more. Many iPhone owners and iPad noted that iOS 11 is terribly slow. This is especially noticeable on smartphones and tablets, the versions of which are already beginning to become outdated, although they support new platform... In this article, we're going to tell you what to do when iOS 11 is getting terribly slow.
iOS 11 slows down on iPhone 7
Before blaming Apple for slowing down your iPhone or iPad, there are a few work-related ways to speed up your system and improve performance. To get started, try simply rebooting your device. Very often restarting the gadget will solve most of the problems.
If the problem still persists and iOS 11 is slow, skip to alternative methods... At first, remove extra garbage and unnecessary data(applications, photos, etc.) from the device. Second, check if are the applications installed on your smartphone (tablet) updated?... It is possible that some of them have not yet been updated for iOS 11, which is why freezes occur, the system is stupid and slows down.
The third thing to do is disable unused widgets... Also, a lot of resources are spent on updating the content in the background. Therefore, we recommend that you configure background refresh only for some applications, and disable others. And finally, you can try to turn off the animation through Settings - General - Accessibility - Reduce motion.
