Hey there,


It sounds like you're unable to open apps on your iPhone, correct? We want you to be able to access and use your apps, and we want to help.


Just to confirm, is this happening with all apps, or only certain ones? If the issue is only happening with some apps, are the affected apps Apple applications, third-party apps, or both?


This page has some great information and some steps that can help if apps won't open: If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open


If you experience issues with your device freezing or responding slowly when trying to complete other tasks as well, this page may be helpful: About iOS performance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Thank you!
