iOS 12.0.1: Here’s why you should skip Apple’s new software update

Apple’s new software may fix the charging problem for iPhone users, but what about the new issues?

Apple has also reportedly addressed the users regarding their complaints about iMessage delivering personal messages to wrong and multiple people since the roll out of iOS 12 (REUTERS)

Apple is not having a great run with its latest mobile software, iOS 12. Since the roll-out, people have reported issues ranging from Wi-Fi issues to bizarre charging problem on the new iPhone XS. Apple hoped its iOS 12.0.1 update will put an end to these issues. While the update does fix the charging problem, it has now led to newer issues for iPhone users.

A number of iPhone users have reported that they are facing problems like broken calls, poor network and signal connectivity, and a more severe battery drainage issue.

An iPhone user wrote on Twitter that his phone's battery drained from 94% to 88% in 20 minutes after making a voice call.

Some users are also facing issues with FaceTime.

Apple has also reportedly addressed the problem of iMessage delivering personal messages to wrong and multiple people.

"Apple has been telling users that iMessage accidentally sending messages to wrong people is actually a feature for iOS 12 and that it is happening because Apple is now organising all contacts by Apple ID, so if family members or friends share an ID now all these messages are shared simultaneously with everyone who has that ID," according to a Forbes report.
