2 More Common Issues With iOS 7

Battery drain

This one has been mostly reported by users of older phones like the iPhone 4S. Simply, they say iOS 7 seems to drain their batteries faster than iOS 6 did.

One factor may be that iOS 7 expands the ability to run apps in the background while focusing on another task.

The fix? Go to "Settings" and "General," choose "Background App Refresh." From there, you can choose which apps you'll allow to run in the background and which you won't.

There are also general battery-saving steps, like dimming your screen and making sure things like GPS and Bluetooth are switched off if you're not using them.

Certain apps log you out

This one might take care of itself over time.

When Apple updates its operating system, apps that rely on parts of it (like Camera) must update as well. Until they do, they sometimes kick users out. On Apple message boards, users were mentioning apps like Snapchat and Mailbox as frequent offenders.

The fix? Some developers may have already tweaked their products, and other fixes are probably on the way. But if you're still having problems, you can go to "Settings," "General" and "Background App Refresh" again. Turn off any apps you're having problems with.

iMessage Woes For iOS 7

Apple's working on a fix for that, too! 

There's no such thing as a completely smooth launch and iOS 7 is proving no exception to the rule, with scores of iUsers reporting problems with sending and receiving iMessages. 

For those plagued with the issue, the blue progress bar will almost reach the end before getting stuck and sitting there until you reset iMessage or the iPhone or iPad itself. 

Apple has released a statement on the matter, saying it's aware of the problem and will have a fix "in an upcoming software update". 

Apple has reportedly seeded an iOS 7.0.3 update to developers for final testing, which could be ready to download next week. Let's hope this is the fix Apple is referring to. 

Although it seems a lot of people are experiencing the problem right now, Apple says it's only affecting "a fraction of a percent" of users. 

For now, one workaround we're hearing of is to turn off iMessage, hit Reset Network Settings, then turn iMessage back on again.
