iPhone freeze when I receive a call

Hi all,

since few month, I have this trouble on my iPhone XS Max (iOS 13.3.1). Randomly, when I receive a call, the phone freeze and don’t respond at any command. The phone keeps ringing but I can't answer and decline the call. When I try to made an hard reset, the phone keeps ringing and doesn’t restart. After few minutes, the phone automatically made a respring and restart itself. Anyone had experience with this problem?

Thank you.

Nicholas

Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with your iPhone not responding properly when you receive a call.


Please start by forcing the Phone app to quit: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you still have issues, it may be beneficial to reinstall iOS using your computer. Before reinstalling you should make a backup of your data before the next steps. You can make a backup in iCloud or iTunes using this article: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Please pay close attention when you reach step 4. Once iOS is reinstalled, test if the issue or issues are still occurring.
