Update: Good news and bad news.


Bad news : the trip to the apple store was pretty much useless. The Geniuses at the apple store could only offer obvious solution which was that I needed to restore my phone to fix the problem. They couldn't even help me with main problem that I had which was that I needed way to back up my iphone because my iphone kept freezing and restarting every 10 min.


Good news: I took long route and pretty much spent 3 hours to transfer rest of my photos to my windows pc (other half was backed on icloud in span of 3 days when i started having this problem). Then I deleted the photos from my phone and was able to back up my messages notes and other basic apps via backup to my mac in less then 10 mins. Then I did backup restore and it seems to have fixed my problem and my phone isn't freezing and restarting every 10 min.


Long story short: its a software issue. so you will need to restore your phone to fix this problem and in the future back up your phone on icloud or your computer


Let me know if this solution worked for you. I am just afraid it will happen again in the future
