First, let's talk about the installation problem.

If your iOS 16 installation gets stuck, here's how to fix it.

Connections Issues

If you can't connect your iPhone to a Bluetooth device, you can try closing the connection and connecting again. If the problem persists, try resetting your iPhone's Network Settings. Fixing Bluetooth problems can be difficult.

If you see a “No Service” icon and/or your iPhone cannot connect to your cellular network, here are a few steps to take.

First, make sure there is no cellular outage in your area. Check social media for reports and/or contact your service provider via social media. If you determine that the problem is not related to a network outage, you will want to restart your iPhone and see if that fixes the connection. If you're still struggling, you'll want to try turning Cellular Data off and on. If these don't work, it could be related to your account.

If you're having trouble making or receiving FaceTime calls, you'll want to make sure Apple isn't having issues with the service. If FaceTime has a green symbol next to it, the problems are likely with you.

First, make sure your iPhone is properly connected to Wi-Fi or your cellular network.

Visual Voicemail sometimes breaks down after Apple releases a new version of iOS. If you can't get visual voicemail to work properly on your phone, there are a few things you should try.

First, try letting the voicemail play all the way through. Once complete, exit and reopen the Phone app. If that doesn't work, you'll want to restart your iPhone.

Other Issues

If GPS starts working after migrating your iPhone to iOS 16, try restarting the device before doing anything else.

If that doesn't work, you'll want to try toggling Airplane Mode on and off. If it still works, go to your location permissions and make sure you allow the app or apps to use GPS. You can also try turning location services off and on.

If you can't fix your problem and can't wait for the next version of iOS 16, you can try reverting to a previous version of iOS if the option is available. This can help improve your phone's performance.

If your phone is really struggling on iOS 16, you can try restoring your iPhone as new. You can do this via Finder, iTunes or iCloud. Of course, this should only be used as a last resort.
