Apple Preparing to Release iOS 17.2.1 Update to Fix a Major Issue on The iPhone

wccftech.com:

Last week, Apple released iOS 17.2 to the general public for all compatible iPhone models. The update brings a plethora of significant features to the platform. However, the company also released some much-needed bug fixes for issues plaguing the iPhone. However, the operating system is far from perfect at this point, considering the underlying bugs. To tackle the situation, Apple is working on a new iOS 17.2.1 update, which will be available to all iPhone users shortly.

As mentioned, Apple released the iOS 17.2 update last week for all compatible iPhone models. The latest build was released with significant upgrades, including bug fixes and performance enhancements. The update fixed many bugs for the iPhone, including an issue where a Flipper Zero could interfere with the device's connectivity. Additionally, a strange bug was causing the App Switcher to appear automatically while typing.

Overall, the stability of the platform was improved. However, the update did not fix all the issues, as iPhone users reported an issue where the Messages app would disappear when rearranging app icons on the Home screen. While uncertain, Apple could fix the disappearing Messages app issue on the iPhone with the iOS 17.2.1 update (via MacRumors).

Note that iOS 17.2.1 will be a minor update compared to iOS 17.2. iOS 17.2 finally brought the highly-anticipated Journal app to the iPhone and iPad. There were also many upgrades, which you can check out in our release post. iOS 17.2.1, on the other hand, will only focus on under-the-hood- bug fixes and the platform's performance. Furthermore, iOS 17.2.1 will potentially fix the disappearing Messages app on the iPhone.
