iOS 18.4 Bug Seemingly Resurrects Previously Deleted iPhone Apps

They even broke the freaking Notes app. That's how bad it is. 🤦♂️
Almost seems like an April Fool’s joke. But is yet another bug in Apple’s code. How do these bugs make it into a *.4 point release given that it’s been several months since the initial 18.0 release, and we’re almost at WWDC!
"We heard you guys loved your old deleted photos returning, so guess what we did with your deleted apps!"
Android stable? Please don’t make me spit out this expensive bourbon 🤣😝
And no androids are not updated frequently. Motorola says hello.
Samsungs that aren’t galaxy s models say hello.
Sony. Redmi. The list goes on and on.
Android fans seem to overlook the fact that flagship androids are not even the bulk of Android sales therefore the majority of Android phones sold
Are in fact released are often outdated versions and often slow with updates lmao
And don’t get me started on Android tablets.
Apple has always been superior when it came to OS support
Software does have bugs and bugs do happen when code changes. Kind of the nature of the beast.
There’s no software that is 100 percent perfect lmao
My wife had Garage Band and the other apps that come on i devices (the office type ones) reappear on her 16. Minor annoyance for her obviously but indicative of just how sloppy Apple is lately.
Certainly it's a bug. The phrase that peg27 is using has been quoted and reused for decades; it's a reference to "documenting tolerable bugs" and using that documentation to indicate that it's simply not going to be fixed, because "it's a feature" and working as expected... or at least that it is easily managed and not worth fixing.
The phrase is of course entirely tongue-in-cheek whenever anyone uses it today; nobody really thinks this is a feature.
Anyone have any idea if the 18.5 update will remove them, or if we have to go back through our libraries?
What are you even talking about. There is a security update every month and I had two updates with feature enhancements on top of it, just in March
Oh wow. 1 out of every 1000 android phone got an update.
According to stats, more Android phones are running out of date Android versions aka not recently secured
Compared to the current Android versions 🤣

And unlike Android, Apple does release security updates for older versions seeing as they know many of their customers are stuck in certain versions.
You are looking at the lowest denominator of android - this is a reoccurring theme, you like to compare the best aspects of Apple to the worst of Android.
Android is stable, you haven't mentioned a thing that refutes this. As far as different models running android, update frequency obviously varies but that's besides the point - Android does not require updates on the same level of frequency as iOS.
I have a 7 year old galaxy s9+ that's not been updated since March 2022 and yet is still runs flawlessly on its original battery, it's less prone to bugs and crashing than my iphone 13, I can also push the galaxy further without it throttling as badly as the iphone. Absolutely nothing has slowed down on my galaxy phone, some apps run smoother and faster on it despite being an older phone.
Androids don't slow with updates anymore so than iOS.
#1 and #2 happened to me as well. On top of that, my location privacy settings have been changed. It appears I’ve been automatically enrolled in location accuracy improvements and location for in-app web browsing enabled. WTF Apple???
Same happened on my iPhone 16 Pro Max after I updated it to 18.4, so in the Battery Settings I re-selected my limit of 90%. Oddly, the same thing happened with my 16 inch 2021 M1 Macbook Pro after I updated it to the release version of Sequoia 15.4, but since Macbooks and Sequoia don't have an option that allows you to set the maximum battery charge to a value below 100%, the cause seems to be with the utility AlDente, which apparently forgot my 80% setting. I re-entered 80%, and I'll see if that holds.
That’s factually untrue lmao. Even my old iPhone 11 is faster than newer budget android phones.
My iPhone 13 has no issues and runs just fine as does my 16 pro max
The majority of androids are running outdated versions. I guess when over half are running outdated versions you can claim stability 🤣😂
Androids aren’t even running the current version of Android lmao. 🤣
The lowest common denominator is the bulk of android phones.
I shut down all of the apps, restarted the device and now it's back to stopping at 80%. Hope yours has been resolved as well.
