Apps won’t open

Hey everyone…I have an iPhone 10r and suddenly none of my apps work. I’m able to text and can see my photos. Storage is not a problem. The “fix” I read doesn’t seem to work. Anybody have any luck fixing this problem?

iPhone XR, iOS 16

What "fix" did you read? Standard troubleshooting steps would being with restarting your phone. You may also want to force restart the phone:


Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


Are these built in apps? Or third-party apps?

That is not entirely correct. Many of the pre-installed apps can be deleted and re-installed. However, if the OP can't open any apps, that's unlikely to be the solution.
