The Apple iOS 8.4.1 update's goal is to fix the bugs and glitches of the Apple Music but apparently the deemed savior caused tons of new issues and glitches than what it promised.
Forbes cited that aside from not fixing the existing Apple Music glitches, the update added new issues such as battery drain, Wi-Fi connectivity issues, and difficulty with the mail application.
In addition to the issues Forbes cited, Tech Times also mentioned on a report that the iOS 8.4.1 update somewhat disabled the phone's ability to sync via Bluetooth and lost some of the user's playlist.
With regard to the battery drain, another user complained that before the update, the phone has at least 6+ hours of battery life but after the 8.4.1 update, the battery went from 100% to 0% in just one hour, on top of the longer charging time, after the update.
In related news, tech experts provided their expertise to at least alleviate the frustration of the major public who got the iOS 8.4.1 update, but releasing several tips for the battery drain issue of the update.
One of the tips, according to Neuro Gadget, is a quick reset of the device's iOS settings. This procedure will only reset the setting of the device's iOS and not the entire device, which means that all data or information inside the device will remain in tacked.
Next tip is by simply restarting the devices or hard reboot. Perform the dive's standard turn off procedure and turn it back on. If this procedure will not work, do a hard reboot by holding the devices home and power button, simultaneously, for at least 10 seconds. The device will turn off automatically and will turn back on by itself.
Do not take off your fingers on the home and power button until the Apple logo appears to perform the hard reboot fully. Another tip is to either restore or clean the iOS 8.4.1 update or go back to the 8.4 version by downgrading. These tips can be performed on Apple's iTunes.
The iOS 8.4.1 update was a major disaster for Apple and up to now the Cupertino-based giant is still mum on it. Is this a marketing tool to boost the popularity of the upcoming iOS 9, which might have the solution to the issues, or they are currently dipping their noses right in the issue to come up with a solution?
