Screen Capture Freezes in IOS 14

it start happening to me since iOS 14...generally only occur on the first screenshot of the day, then starts working normally.

I'm running the latest iOS update (14.3) on a 11pro and noticed the "failure" since iOS 14.

It's annoying and even more annoying not having a solution after (I believe) 3 iOS updates.

Never had the issue before on previous iOS.

The issue i used to face , when i make screenshot and try to share it direct from the Edit page to Facebook messenger, the phone get freezes and the only solution is to swipe the home line.

I figured this out using my sense-of troubleshooting by deleting the Facebook Messenger app and reinstall it from the App Store and now there is no issue with doing screenshots and share it immediately.

So i do recommend if this issue happing with you with any app you try to share to just have a try to delete the app and reinstall it from the app Store.

let me know of this solved your issue.

My iPhone 11 is doing the same thing anytime you take a screenshot the phone freezes up. Apple online customer support is uselessl To the point where you want to throw the phone all they can recommend after an hour of troubleshooting the device is take it into an Apple store which they have absolutely no appointment availability. Obviously this is a issue that’s happening with many devices get it together apple or you’re going to lose customers

iPhone 11 Pro

ios 14.3

problem since iOS 14 was first installed.

after taking a Screenshot and tapping on the miniature image the editing screen opens. Always when I try to crop the image, the first cropping works but after removing the finger from the screen everything freezes up. No interaction possible. Sliding the screen up to close the app doesn’t work. I have to lock and unlock the phone to use it again.

rebooting didn’t work so far. Not really willing to wipe the whole phone.

I’ve been having this same issue since I got my phone (along with dropping all service when switching towers, lovely) on my iPhone 12 Pro Max as well. Now on 14.3, nothing resolved. Can we get a fix sometime soon please?!

Reinstalling apps didn’t do the trick, this issue is tied to the OS and not any particular application.

I hard reboot “fixes” things. But temporarily. Also not the best way to go about things.

I have tried to see if this is related to Low battery mode but seems to happen even when battery is charged and over 80%.

Its weird that this isn’t getting any traction on any tech sites - have seen this happen to almost every user at one point or another in iOS 14+ on the iPhone Pro.

Still frustrating. When I take a screen shot and nothing happens now at least I know not to spam it, just go to pictures and send from there - making this function totally useless.

Not mad at Apple, but hope some one gets their eyes on this Soon to resolve!

Wife’s phone 11 pro running iOS 14.2 never has had problem my phone 12 pro max running 14.2.1 has had problem since I got it in early December. My 11 pro max which had the most up to date iOS never had issue with screen shot.

This is disappointing to say the least.

already tried resetting phone

I have the same issues with my screen shots freezing, lag time and not loading. Then I find them all on my camera later, I can't send them directly in email or iMessage. It also at times has caused my phone to freeze completely needed a restart.

Happening to me to and gets worse with each update ie I have to shut down my phone to get rid of the freeze / screen goes white and doesn’t show the screen shot I have taken / lag to send screen shot to contacts. Currently on 14.3 and only got my 11 pro in September.

I initially went thru the apple support app sent a couple complaints thru and I got a message to set up a call from apple support. They acted like they haven’t heard of the problem. Suggested it might be my case ( ha not my case) I think they just don’t have a fix for it yet

New issue, now it pauses and delays ability of messenger whenever opening up whether for a new message or responding. If I typed anything immediately to respond to someone, it lags and then suddenly all appears in the text message. Screenshots still also cause a huge lag and by the time the system catches up, it shows me I've taken 3-4 screenshots.

Apple went from mostly a bug-free experience to almost comically buggy, especially my M1 MBA as well. Dont even get me into "your system has run out of application memory" that I deal with daily on that machine doing nothing but browsing the web.

Is Apple ever going to come up with a fix ? Been experiencing this for months too. Super annoying. I use screen grabs all the time and share to WhatsApp etc and every once in a while it lags freezes. Today I even had to reboot the phone. Using iOS 14.3...

Been having same issues. Driving me mad because I use screenshots to send via text constantly. It will work for awhile and then not at all. And constantly slow and delayed when it does work. My max battery is 90% and have all updates so this is an IOS issue but it’s not happening to everyone so I have no clue but fix NOW please.

I have had this issue ever since I switched to iPhone 12 Pro. about a month ago I got a brand new 12 pro. Continuous freezing when taking screenshots. All the problems everyone else is mentioning. So bad to the point where I returned the phone as DOA and was sent another brand new phone. EXACT same issues! Very frustrating for what is supposed to be a top of the line phone. Continuing to hope a software update fixes that as of right now my prior IPhone XR ran better than my IPhone 12 Pro, which is sad.
