iPhone keeps freezing after iOS 14 update

We both have iPhone X and we did the update and ever since when we go to text sometimes the letters aren’t appearing for a couple of seconds and apps have been freezing up just sitting on the screen doesn’t make any sense the phones were perfectly fine before the update this is definitely an Apple iOS 14 issue my phone was perfect before I did update and have never had issues with any other updates previously like this. I have froze several times since update

I spoke about this a few days agoAfter I had been on the phone with Apple support. No improvement. The only thing I fixed it for us to do an iPhone recovery. I no longer have a delay with Siri, opening apps, and the battery does not ring

Same here. iPhone 11 Pro Max. This issue has been around since two betas prior to the GM and, sadly, it persists in 14.2 beta. Reported this to Apple already via the Feedback site. My phone is barely usable as it this now. Apps freezing and then crashing at random. Google Maps is in the worst condition so far. It always hangs and then crashes when switching to any other app and then back to it for navigation and even manages to crash when it is the only app in the foreground. Then I will have to open it several times before it is stable again, if only for a few minutes. It is astonishing Apple released iOS 14 final in such a condition. Never happened to be this upset with an update before.

I called Apple Support and they told me to do a force restart. Shut down your phone. Wait a few minutes. The press volume up followed by volume down then power key and wait for Apple logo to appear. This resolved my issue and no app freezes since then.

Downloaded ios14 onto iPhone 11 128gb the screen freezes very frequently on whatever app I am using, I have to wait about 15-30 seconds to gain some function on the screen again and shut the open app. Have closed down all apps, done hard reset, still problem remains. Wish I hadn't downloaded itnow

iPhone X here is essentially inoperable post-update to iOS 14. I can hardly do anything on the phone without it freezing and rebooting itself. Sometimes it even gets stuck in a reboot loop for a while.

This is incredibly inconveniencing. Please release a patch!

I have the iPad mini 5 and the screen has frozen at least four times today in Safari and once in gmail app. I shut it down (turn it off) and it resets.

It’s irritating. I hope it doesn’t affect the hardware.

I'll add the times I've most frequently seen this happen:

1) swiping an app "up" to go to the home screen

2) trying to get to the app switcher

3) When texting, after sending a text sometimes it freezes

4) Loading content while scrolling facebook/twitter (on echofon)/instagram

5) general use of phone otherwise

Hi! I was facing certain issues after the iOS14 update. My phone was freezing everytime. Even while capturing photos or screenshots it used to be frozen.

I have updated with iOS 14.0.1 this morning and faced no such issues since.

hoping all these bugs are fixed by this update. Give iOS 14.0.1 a try.

Depending on how much you have on your phone, it takes a while to continue updating in the background. Let it be for a day or so. After it is working well, go to your App Store and hit your photo on the upper right to see if you need to update older apps. If it says update, do it. Good luck! Also after it works well, do the 14.0.1 update. Good luck.

I see - Apple made piece of JUNK of our iPhones :(

I got FULL SET problems with my iPhone 11

FaceID stopped working right after iOS 14 update.

Apps freeze.

Random black screen (lighted up) when wake up.

I almost DESTROYED my iPhone hitting it against wall thinking it will help after magic Apple solutions like factory restore - pray to all gods etc. :/

So it’s been like 3 days my messaging will work for like 30 minutes then freezes again, so I have to reply to messages from my laptop. I’ve toggles with iMessages and turned off text forwarding. Still messed up. So is there gonna be a third update to fix this!

Had daily freezing and hanging in all sorts of apps since upgrading to ios 14 on both an iPad and iPhone.

Did a forced restart, and voila it is fast, no freezing, and I'm happy again!

One note is when you do hold the three buttons down together the logo flashes and turns off. Release and hit the power button again to restart and my problems are fixed (for now anyway!)

Same here, iPhone 11 Pro Max. iOS 14.0.1. Can’t swipe from home screen. Everything’s frozen for half a minute each time it happens, usely after picking up phone. Have restarted iPhone twice, after each update.
