Apple briefly made its first minor iOS 8 update available Wednesday, only to pull the offering and advise users to roll back their devices to iOS 8.0 after many began to report that it was affecting cell service and causing issues with the Touch ID fingerprint scanner.
The bug mostly affected iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models, but was not specific to a region, as it was prevalent in the US, UK and Australia, according to ZDNet.
Apple has released instructions for users to readopt iOS 8.0, but also announced that they will release an iOS 8.0.2 update very soon to fix the issues 8.0.1 was supposed to attend to - which range from the download itself to lags, slow Safari, issues with sound, FaceTime, multitasking, Mail and more.
"We are also preparing iOS 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue, and will release it as soon as it's ready in the next few days," said Apple.
Problems are also coming up in iOS 8 with Wi-Fi, messages and, the real dagger, battery life.
A bug in the new Healthkit app has caused similar issues, even delaying the launch of third-party developers' health and fitness apps.
"We're working quickly to have the bug fixed in a software update and have HealthKit apps available by the end of the month," an Apple spokeswoman told PCWorld via email.

Furthermore, the update is reportedly causing apps to crash 3.3 percent of the time - 67 percent more often than last year's iOS 7, according to analytics firm Crittercism.
The firm's chief executive officer, Andrew Levy, told Bloomberg that iOS 8's 4,000-plus new functions and changes have caused the most problems with older devices. He also added that the new coding language is taking time for developers to "get up to speed."
iOS 8 is compatible with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 4S, iPod touch fifth-gen, iPad 2, iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina Display, iPad mini, iPad 4, and iPad 3.
