My Phone and Messenger apps freeze persistently for about a minute on my iPhone X. These are the ONLY apps that have this problem. Appears to mostly be when I am trying to find contacts. For example, I search a contact in the phone app and it freezes for up to several minutes.
I have closed all the apps, restarted, everything but a factory reset. Any suggestions?
