IOS 18

hick · ‎03-28-2010

FYI - I updated my Iphone 13 about a week ago. I also updated my Apple watch.

There is a bug in the update - not sure if it's the watch or the phone update.

If I delete a message on my watch, it wipes out the entire thread on my phone.

I did a lot of investigating about this and there are 3 pages about this problem on the Apple forums.

I've also talked with the people at Apple several times. They didn't seem to be aware of this issue.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I just checked again and I don't have notice of the update to IOS 18.

Can you talk to Apple about backing it out until the bugs are resolved?

It's definitely a known problem and from what I've read Apple has quit pushing the update until they can fix it.

I think your only option right now is to not use the watch to delete messages and wait for the updated fix, or to see if you can back out of the update.

I don't have a watch, so I haven't had the problem, but this is why I always wait a bit to update and check for issues before I do.

@hick I just tested this: deleted a message on my watch (watchOS 11.0) to see what happens to that message on my phone (iOS 18.0). Only the message I deleted on my watch was deleted on my phone. The thread was still there. Maybe they fixed it?

Yes, that's the plan and that was Apple's recommendation - don't delete messages on the watch.

I wanted to buy the Apple Watch 10 but the Apple tech told me to hold off until the fix for IOS 18 was in.

Also..... when the update came out, I saw on the bottom of the update notification that IOS 18 was avaliable for update. I should have just stuck with the 17. something.
