Alarm and YouTube app issues after updating to iOS 27.0.1 on iPhone

So frustrated with OS 27.0.1

i feel like I’m having to become an IT tech just to set my alarm and get that option back to access the alarm screen directly. This is not a reasonable expectation got most customers. This morning my phone cannot open YouTube app. In over 2 minutes, it’s still a black screen. I’ve restarted my phone and quit most other apps. I just don’t understand how there are so many basic failures for items many of us use to get through our day, like wake up in time for work.

First check you have uninstalled any security apps, VPN or Ad Blockers.

then Force Restart the phone.

Press and quickly release Vol up button

Press and quickly release Vol down button

Press and hold the side power button until the apple logo appears NB ignore the slider and ignore the following black screen, wait for the apple to appear then release.


What direct access to alarm are you referring to? Control Center or Hey Siri?

I will add I finally got the screen YouTube to load, very exciting. But none of the videos or buttons work, nothing opens out responds. Supposedly YouTube should be working fine when checked online. Hope my work apps will work correctly
