Strange message “Memory trace upload was successful”

My iPhone 7 just “floated” a message down from the top of the screen, saying: “Memory trace upload was successful”.


what does it mean?


my iPhone keeps restarting itself, ever since I updated it last November to iOS 13.2.3

When the phone has restarted, it searches for phone and mobile data, saying: “Mobile data update failed. Your iPhone cannot make or receive calls or access mobile data until it has been updated”. However, i have the latest iOS (13.3.1) and yet it does this throughout the day. Some days it doesn’t do it at all. Other days (like today) it does it a lot.

Hi ps_pause,


Thanks for posting your question. I understand you received an unexpected alert and have had a few other issues with your iPhone.


What was happening on your iPhone when that message appeared onscreen? What apps were in use that you can recall? This might help work out what happened.


Regarding restarting, you might check your battery health and whether performance management has been enabled: iPhone Battery and Performance


You also mentioned a mobile data update error. This has some troubleshooting for the error you mentioned: If you see an Update Failed or Apple Pay Not Available alert after iOS update or restart


If you're seeing "No Service" along with the mobile data error, it may be worth looking at this as well since you have an iPhone 7: iPhone 7 Repair Program for "No Service" Issues


Hopefully this is helpful. Have a good one.

Actually, I’m wondering if there’s a memory leak / issue with iOS 13.3.1. Every now and again, my phone just hangs; slows down, apps become unresponsive, and that was happening when I received the memory trace message from the Facebook app. Closing all apps doesn’t rectify the issue. Only a hard reboot seems to fix the issue. It also impacts the App Store - my apps simply don’t update, and this happens at least every second day. Only a hard restart sorts this out too. Seems like the memory improvement introduced in iOS 13.3 may be the devil in all this detail.
