Iphone crashing and apps disappeared

Hello!

I found my phone stuck on a loading screen. After a quick restart, I opened my phone to find that a lot of my app icons were missing (but the app's names and notification badges were still there). Whenever I try to open one, however, my phone just crashes and would often take a long time to start back up again.

If it helps troubleshoot, earlier in the day i found that most of my apps were behaving strangely when I would open them (safari tabs all blank, youtube videos not loading, instagram stories not loading).

Thank you in advance!!!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

Hello,

Hmm, the symptoms seem to indicate that you don't have a valid internet connection. See this:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't connect to a Wi-Fi network

Suggestions for Wi-Fi issues

Check the cellular data usage on your iPhone and iPad

If no help, consider a factory reset:

Good luck.

It seems you didn't read the first paragraph where I detail my phone crashing.

Hello joephr,

It seems you didn't see the link about apps not responding.

Did you try a factory reset as indicated?

If no help, have it checked:

Good luck.
