Screen Capture Freezes in IOS 14

HI!

I have an iPhone 11 PRO MAX with plenty of space. Most recent iOS14 Version 14.4.2.

had this Scree capture bug since update to iOS14. 

It lags, it even crashed springboard at the time. Maybe it freezes the screen... sometimes the capture animation and thumbnail appears several, several, seconds after the fact and sometimes it's even impossible to get rid of it... In short, all kind of weird stuff, annoying stuf, that worked like a charm in iOS13. 

It renders Screen Capture almost useless....

im having the same issue. Its never helpful to ask any Apple support, they all use the same template of response. The best benefit of using Apple products is to learn everything yourself, because they dont know anything. My iphone 7 started to shut down itself, like an idiot, i went to apple store, they said i should upgrade my phobe. All i did is to google some articles and the fix was a simple system reset. I erased my 12 twice, if this happens againc i will just return it.

My 12 pro max not only lags when I do screenshot, it freezes on google maps, soemtimes it doesnt respond😂. The last straw, it restarts itself after a long freeze. And i paid $1299 for this piece of junk. Whats even worse? Im a hard core loyal Apple user 🤦🏻‍♂️

I said the same thing the other day. I totally regret getting this POS, and apple just blames Verizon. I talked to the Verizon too their and he says it’s a known problem at apple. I’m about to get ahold of the state Attourny general and complain. If they get enough, they may actually force something.

Hey Brian, I was having this same problem and I don’t know if you have your back tap on to screenshot but I did and I turned it off and my screenshots are no longer delayed. I am not 100% sure that was the problem but it worked for me so I figured I would tell you.

Found a Solution

Requested from Apple for service, they sent to Best Buy, they couldn’t do and I had to go to Apple store. They said everything was fine. Told them random automatic restarts, freeze when screen shots, lagging for no reason. They did “diagnostics” in 2 steps, first software and second was hardware. Both came out good, of course, why would they own it. Guy advised me to go complete clean erase, when fresh setting up your iPhone, do not opt for any backup, meaning you start fresh. However, if you backed up youth photos, messages, contacts and other essential stuff, when you login, they should all come back. Only issue is to reinstall every old app manually. Now my 12 pro max doesn’t lag, no restarts or screenshot freeze. So the problem was to restore a backup from the old phone.

It shouldnt require this much work to fix it. How recent was this? Im curious to see how long it lasts. I did an erase last week. But I rebooted from a backup. Im not computer whiz but it should be an easier fix than wiping out years of Apple loyalty and manually downloading every app.

I didn't restore any backup. I had my 11 PRO MAX working perfectly on iOS13 and as soon as I updated to iOS14 the issue appeared...

Installing manually every app without restoring... not an option to me. I had to do that when I bough my first Apple Watch (i think it was the third gen) that worked pretty bad with my, at the time, iPhone 7.... Sorry to hear this...

I;m thinking out loud.. maybe if we turn on the optinon that unistalls automaticlly the less used apps helps... Maybe by a chance the "offending" app gets uninstalled and it makes chaisng it easier...

Yeah this is an apple thing not a phone thing. I've heard of it doing it on the iphone 11 as well. I believe it's a bug with iOS 14. It REALLY bugs me on my iPhone 12 max. Try to screenshot and nothing happens... about 10-15 seconds later oh... there's the screenshot... but guess what?! you can't click on it for another 10 seconds!!

It's a feature not a bug.

I found this forum a couple weeks ago and can’t believe you dealt with this for so long. I almost lost it after a couple weeks of this. I tried the back tap option and it did work though it felt slow still. And after disabling the function the problem came right back.

however today, I have randomly been able to use the function seamlessly for a day and a half now. This is random and out of nowhere but I wanted to see if anybody else had the luck I had that this has began to function normally?

Ever since I toggled the back touch on then off, I’ve had far less trouble with the screen shot bug. My phone did not update last night so I’m still running the next to last firmware. Will see how 14.5 treats me also.
