Severe network issues (Wifi & Mobile Data) after updating to iOS 18.2.1

Hi Everyone,


Am I the only one facing major network issue with the new iOS 18.2.1 (Updated on 12.01.2025).


It's randomly dropping wifi connections, changing over to mobile data/internet, dropping off calls like no one's business. My phone has become so temperamental that i cannot even conduct any activity in peace.


How can I seek help, please advice.


Such a nightmareeee!!!

iPhone XS, iOS 18

I’ve found a back door thru google and android. I got hit with a sticky broadcast that came in on WiFi and Bluetooth taking over my system. You can’t stop it. It hit all five of my phones within minutes. I gave the evidence to the police but they didn’t know what to do


That’s at least several million dollars of exploit tooling and quite probably far more, and being targeted with that places your security risks and exposures far outside the sort of thing anybody can assist in a forum, or a vendor support channel, or local police.

Let me make clear it wasn’t the company google that did it. Google had flaws that were exploited by very intelligent people that had a lot of time on their hands. I’ve been fighting with these hackers for almost two weeks now. I don’t know where it came from but check security certificates and see if there’s about 500 or so that don’t belong there and then hit me back.
