❗ SOLVED ❗

After a call with Apple icloud they made an appointment with AppleCare at London Drugs, they tested and found nothing wrong, stopped all unnecessary apps from auto loading and all the apple programs i listed above worked perfectly. I then started opening apps that I had running before One(1) by One(1) and found the culprit was the fact that I had TAMED contactsd & TimeMachine processes with AppTamer. : /

what a pain for something i did myself... all is fine now... so far... #LOLs

Thank you all for you concern and help 🙏🏿

Sincerely,

ßill
