Hello,

I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max on version 14.3 and my apps tend to freeze for about 10-15 seconds on any app. This has been happening since the last update I believe as far as I can remember. Force closing all the apps or even restarting the phone doesn’t help. If I open IG, Snapchat, YouTube, tiktok or even banking apps, the screen freezes as I am navigating within the app, and about 10-30 seconds later it unfreezes and puts all my swipes, scrolls or any touches of the screen during the freeze period in a fast forward motion.


Can’t seem to find a fix for this or the reason why it’s happening!


Anyone come across this/ similar issue? If so- any trouble shooting tips?


Thanks in advance!


Best,

Darshan

My iPhone mini still freezes every time I do anything with auto fill/ buttons/ inserting passwords, etc. The update didn’t fix anything with my phone at all. It’s keeps freezing and it’s become a hassle-since I can update anything unless I go home and do it and then write the password down and then retype it manually - can’t use auto fill without it freezing- or sometimes if I update the password it won’t let me save it until several attempts later- if at all.
