Why is my iPhone slow after downloading iOS 15?
For that, you need to know a thing or two about updates in general. Apple releases two types of updates for your iPhone: temporary and release updates.
As the name suggests, temporary updates are relatively minor. They add a feature here and there, fix an annoying problem, and tweak the app’s appearance. However, the temporary iPhone update is not very exciting.
This does not apply to the so-called version update. Apple releases an annual update along with the new iPhone. Many new features have been introduced, we will see new apps and (sometimes) basic changes in the operating system.
Why is iOS 15 causing problems?
Since last week you can download iOS 15, the iPhone update of 2021. Almost every year people notice that their devices behave strangely after an update. For example, your iPhone responds slower than usual, apps do not load as smoothly as normal and you notice a bit of stuttering when writing messages.
This year is no different. According to reports on websites and social media, iOS 15 also causes the necessary problems. So the big question is: how is this possible?
The simple answer is: because your iPhone is still updating. The update screen may be off, but your device is still running in the background. For example, individual apps are fully set up for iOS 15 and your important data is transferred from iOS 14.

Solutions
Fortunately, in most cases the solution is quite simple. Once you give your iPhone overnight, most of the background processes are done in the morning. Don’t forget to put your device on the charger, as the version update procedure consumes quite a bit of power.
Does your iPhone still feel lethargic after a few days? Then maybe there’s more. For example, try updating your apps. App developers should update their apps whenever Apple releases a new iOS version. You can check for updates for your installed apps via the App Store. Simply tap on your Apple ID, scroll down and tap Update.
It can also sometimes help to disable Background Refresh. This feature ensures that frequently used apps are always kept up to date by retrieving new information (such as messages) in the background. Go to the Settings app, tap General, then choose Background Refresh to disable the feature.
