First off I had to cancel apple music because since upgrade to s26 I can no longer access my playlists. It's just my s26 that had the problem and apple tech couldn't figure it out. Secondly on imdb I cannot longer pull up individual seasons and those episodes. Also if I pull up an actor etc and hit their roles or whatever it shows 0 every time. Next my ebay app keeps crashing internally on certain things since getting an s26. Finally amazon music is just buggy, but for all I know that is just the service. Those are just the apps I regularly use there may be several other of my apps that now partially perform since getting this phone.
