Mine too - except my issue is in Contacts - if I search for a contact - it just freezes up. I close the app and it either remains frozen at the same spot or resets to the general view - very frustrating for a 2 day old $1400 phone.....

Yes, my iPhone 11 Pro Max is freezing up multiple times every day. This issue began soon as I purchased the phone, and continues with IOS 14 as well as IOS 14.1 I am very unhappy with this phone. Nobody at my local Apple store has any idea what the problem is. I do hard reset's on this phone probably 12 times every single day.

I have the exact same issues as everybody else and even now the issue still plagues all iPhones and onto the new iPhone 12...

It is a problem of the apps refreshing in the background for some reason iPhone processors are going to sleep before the background refresh settings gets to refresh etc, mail, camera etc etc, or whatever the app you are using at the time.

Personally, I haven’t found a workaround as it is a firmware issue so in apple’s court for repair and it isn’t new but they are sitting on there hands as they are more involved with the phone than firmware repair sad but true.

So, playing with settings like turning off background refresh in the settings and restart iPhone, gave me a few days of no frozen apps in background, that’s about it.
