What is happening

On iPhone 15, iPhone 16, iPhone 17 Pro Max and older models running iOS 27.0.1 or 27.2, TBTL readers say apps stop loading data after the update: Wi-Fi shows connected but apps and messages act offline, and some see very slow 5G. These come from reader reports to TBTL: 22 different readers since October 22, which clears our 10 reader bar. Apple hasn't commented. First reported to us by a reader on October 22.

What to try

  1. Restart the iPhone and toggle Airplane mode on and off.
  2. In Settings, Cellular, scroll to the list of apps and make sure the affected apps are switched on.
  3. If you use a VPN or iCloud Private Relay, turn it off briefly to test.
  4. On Wi-Fi, tap the info button next to your network and turn off Limit IP Address Tracking to see if apps start loading.
  5. If nothing helps, reset network settings (Settings, General, Transfer or Reset iPhone, Reset, Reset Network Settings); it clears saved Wi-Fi passwords but not your data.
  6. Report it to Apple Support so it is logged.
