Hello! I’d recommend completing a soft reset of your device.


Press and quickly release the Volume Up button, followed by the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. This will not erase your data but can help resolve minor software issues.


The freezing is likely a software issue. This should help it. Let me know if the issue persists!

Troubleshooting a Frozen iPhone Screen:

I'd say the iPhone is stuck in a boot loop. This can typically occur when install an update, and it got stuck while in the process.  So, refer to my user tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip.
