Contacts app black screen

My Iphone XR has been behaving weirdly lately. The contacts app is just a black screen when I open it and after a while it crashes. Also when I try to facetime someone, it wont load the Facetime as causes my phone to freezes and requires my to reset it. I have also noticed the text messages take a few minutes for thenotifaction to show up on my phone, but the messages go through right away.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Hope this finds you well TubaMan31, 


When experiencing unexpected restarts or unresponsiveness on your iPhone, here are a few steps you can take. 


1. Force close and reopen the app

2. Restart your device

3. Check for updates to iPhone and apps

4. Delete the app, then redownload it


Now, we recognize that deleting the app is not an option with all apps, such as the Contacts app. In that case steps such as updating the iOS software and restarting will be helpful. 


If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad


Thanks.
