Apple’s iOS is known for being smooth, secure, and polished. However, not every feature gets love from users.
Across Reddit, tech forums, YouTube reviews, and X posts, people keep pointing out a few iOS features that feel restrictive, outdated, or plain annoying.
Here are the four iOS features users complain about the most in 2025. We shall start from the least annoying to the most worst.
4. Autocorrect Still Doesn’t Understand Real Typing
Despite Apple’s newer machine learning keyboard, users say autocorrect continues to make mistakes. For many people, autocorrect still feels unreliable.
According to some user experiences, autocorrect replaces correctly spelled words, misunderstands Urdu-English mixed messages, and capitalizes randomly. Sometimes, the suggestions are completely absurd and irrelevant to the context.

3. The Photos App Keeps Showing Unwanted Memories
iOS likes resurfacing old photos, but users say the feature is too aggressive. Naturally, people want more control over what they remember, and the Photos App deprives them of this luxury.
It brings up people users don’t want to remember. There is no complete “turn off memories forever” option, putting the user in the backseat. Irrelevant and repetitive slideshows with no meaningful significance are another issue.

2. Battery Health Controls Feel Too Restrictive
Apple’s battery management system aims to protect battery life, but users feel it limits their control over their own device.
Here are a few complaints:
- Charging gets slowed or paused without a clear explanation
- Performance reduces without warning
- Battery health drops too quickly

1. App Store Rules and Default App Limitations
Users still feel restricted when it comes to app freedom and customization. You cannot fully set third-party apps as true defaults.
Home screen customization is limited compared to Android. App Store rules still block emulators and certain cloud gaming apps. Some features remain unavailable in Pakistan and other regions.

iOS remains one of the best mobile operating systems globally, but users continue to be frustrated by autocorrect errors, Photos memories, strict battery health controls, and App Store restrictions.
With iOS 19 expected next year, people hope Apple will finally resolve these long-standing issues and give users more control over their devices.
