iPhone IOS 14 update nightmare.

I think I've finally got my iPhone back in working order after a nightmarish aftermath of the IOS 14 update. Battery draining itself and phone switching off minutes after showing 80% charge etc. I'm not the only one though according to this but I don't know if that's a consolation.

No battery issues for me on my iOS devices, but I mean what the hell is going on with the keyboard lag, pee poor spelling correction / word "guesses" and to cap it off many times there has been no notifications for text messages - it's driving me insane

No problems at all with a 6s.

Mine's a 6SPlus. It seems to be a problem that depends on what mix of apps you've got as well as other unknown factors and it's apparently a problem that goes back over a number of IOS updates. From what I've read, it's something to do with the OS re-indexing and working flat out in the background.

Anyway, the answer was backup, factory reset, restore from backup and it seems fine now.

Shame that not one of the four support agents I spent time with yesterday didn't just say, "Yes we are aware that this happens in some cases. What you need to do is this, this and this."

In reply to a post by TinyMongomery:

No problems at all with a 6s.

Conversely, same issues on my partners 6S along with my X.

No help, but an XR and an 8 plus here all updated and working fine

I should add that I skipped the initial versions of 14 and only updated a week or two ago. (I think it's 14.2.)

No issues here with my iPhone 11.

All working great with 14.2

Well I've had enough!! Replacing the phone tomorrow. Apple have got me beat!!

I thought for a day or two it might be OK, but it's not. Totally unpredictable, 100% charge one minute and then switches off 10 minutes later at 1%.

iPhone 6s working fine. Wifes iPhone 8 working fine. And related iPad working fine. No one I know that includes a 7 another 6s and a xs have reported a problem. I would back up, erase and reinstall as advised.
