FAQs
Q: How do I know if a bug is from iOS or an app?
A: If the issue occurs with multiple apps or system functions, it's likely an iOS bug. If only one app malfunctions, it's likely an app issue. Try restarting to confirm.
Q: Should I downgrade to a previous iOS version?
A: Apple doesn't allow downgrading unless within a grace period. It's better to wait for the next iOS update or workaround the bug than attempt downgrades.
Q: How do I report a bug to Apple?
A: Use Feedback Assistant on your device (Settings > General > Send Feedback), or visit Apple's Bug Reporter website to report issues directly to Apple engineers.
