iOS 26.3.1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[gardiboy]

Thought this update was fine, homescreen stuttering is back randomly when switching pages wish Apple could get it together.

Wonder if this will get fixed in 26.4?

Unlikely, Apple doesn’t seem to fix anything anymore.

Autobrightness is awful on my 15 Pro.

Same setup as before the update. VPN is deactivated while using Bitwarden. Strange thing is, when using Cellular and connect to my home router via wireguard, Bitwarden syncs as expected.

When troubleshooting VPN problems always totally uninstall it, andBitwarden while you are at it. Both both troublesome on 26.

My battery life has been abysmal in the last few days.

That’s not a bug. There are other threads for opinions. Use them.

If a restart fixes it, then it’s a glitch.
If it still persists, then it’s a bug.

Glitches are difficult to reproduce, hence even more difficult to fix. If it’s a bug, report it.

Yes. But it won't install. It asks for my passcode, then nothing happens.

Did the update require a device restart?

Mine downloaded fine, but then keeps telling me that there’s an error and to try again later when I attempt to install it.

EDIT: restarted the phone and redownloaded the update and everything worked fine.

yep, and although I have Automatically Install enabled, it didn't automatically install (yet?).
Manually initiated the install -> Downloading took a couple of minutes on 15Pro, less than a minute on M1 iPad Pro, rebooted and all is fine...

Hi. I’m on iOS 26.3.1 and, with background security updates enabled, I received a notification that I can install 26.3.1 (a). Do you recommend installing it? The phone is working well, and I wouldn’t want this small security update to affect its performance. Thank you.

We just woke up one morning and our devices had been updated overnight. We didn’t have to do anything.
