Can’t access phone app without a hard reset at times. Can’t access it in settings also. Freezes if I click on it from settings menu.

Something could have gone wrong during the update process.

I would install a fresh copy of 13.1.2 (the most recent iOS version) using this procedure:

Create a full backup of your device's content, then restore it to factory settings and, in the end, set it up as new, using these steps:--> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

When done, restore your data from the previously made backup:--> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
