Wi-Fi problems

Wi-Fi is another common problem, and if you also have the same, the first you should do to fix this is resetting your network settings. Go to Settings>> General>> Reset Network Settings.

You can also forget each network connectivity. Navigate to Settings>> Wi-Fi>> select your connection>> tap on Forget this Network. Now try reconnecting to check if it is working.

If the resolution noted above failed to work, then try rebooting your router and modem. Unplug them for a while then plug them back. You can also update your router's firmware.

Cellular data issues

If a simple restart does not work to solve the issue, try toggling cellular data off and on again. For this go to Cellular>> Cellular Data>> Toggle Off.

Alternatively, you may try flipping Airplane Mode on for about 30 seconds and turn it off again.

If that does do any good, just shut down LTE for a few minutes and turn it back again. Navigate to Settings>> Cellular>> Enable LTE>> Off. Wait for some time then turn it on again and check if the service is restored.

Bluetooth issues

Fixes for Bluetooth are similar to that of the Wi-Fi, with resetting your Network Settings and even forgetting each connection individually.

You may also try resetting your setting, which seemed to have worked for a few users. Go to Settings>> General>> Reset>> Reset All Settings. The process will take some time to complete.

App issues

To fix issues caused by the apps, try to install the latest bug fixes available for them. You can also try reinstalling the apps on your iOS device. Just delete the app and install it again from App Store.

Performance lags

If you are facing lag issues like others, reported on the Apple support forum, you might try out a few things like reducing animations and effect, resetting settings or, restoring back to factory settings. Click here for details about how to apply these on your iOS device.

iMessage issues

If your iMessage does not function properly after the update, just toggle the feature off and on. Navigate to Settings>> Messages>> toggle iMessage off.

Another fix is to reboot the iOS device, and if that failed to work then perform a quick reboot of the network settings.

Head over to Settings>> General>>Reset>> Reset Network Settings. The device will reboot and forget your network connection, so make sure that you have all the details for it.

Factory reset

If none of the above fixes work, you may try to downgrade from iOS 8.4 to iOS 8.3.

Performing a factory reset also do some good. For this go to Settings>> General>> Reset>> Erase all Content and Settings. Note that factory reset will wipe out all data of your device.
