Problems after system update

not without knowledge when it comes to rooting devices etc..if its something you have never attempted before i would not attempt it..you can try doing the usual attempts to narrow things down..boot the phone into safe mode (this shuts down all 3rd party apps and makes the phone run fully stock to eliminate any 3rd party apps not playing nicely with said update)..if it still doesnt work then it isnt being caused by some odd ball rogue app. as much as i hate to say it you can attempt to perform a Factory reset to see if it resolves the issue..but if you and your wife have the same phone and same exact problem i would only do this on one device..if it fixes it perform it on the other device..if it doesnt fix anything then its safe to say doing it to the other device is pointless..

by chance do you happen to know what update it was? i know the A52 just received or is about to receive Android 12..but not sure what the A53 received.
