Freezing issue on iPhone after iOS 17.4.1 update

iPhone 12....

I am unable to share documents and photos.

The app "File" freeze 90% of the times.

I am facing the same issue. Mine iphone 13 Pro max. Even messages also freezing.

I’m having the same issue. Makes me want to throw my phone into the nearest canal.

I'm using 11 Pro and just updated to 17.4.1 2 days ago. Everything was good.

A few hours ago, the phone started playing up. No app could be launched, not even the System app. Pressing the side button won't switch the screen off, and I had to wait for screen timeout. When the phone is off, I could press the side button to turn it on.

I tried the restart by pressing the side button and either of the volume button (Restart your iPhone - Apple Support (NZ)) but even that screen (shown here) was frozen.

Thought I'll wait for the battery to drain. Until I found out that there's another restart method of pressing the up, then down then side buttons individually (Force restart iPhone - Apple Support (NZ)) which worked!

I got an iPhone 14 Pro and I updated yesterday today my phone started acting slow and now I can’t even open the apps, I never had a problem with the IOS 17.3.1.

I want to update my ios to ios 17.4.1 in my iPhone 15 pro max but during update it freezes and it hasn’t been solved by forcing restart of my phone

Same here.

actually most commands from the context menu (e.g. copy, assign to, …) freeze.

however my iPhone keeps being responsible since last update (17.4.1).

i also noticed that messages exchanged (I.e. send and received) would disappear from iMessages. But still present on the corresponding person iphone

I also have the same problem! Many apps start freezing at their splash screen. Have never experienced that before. So annoying!

After update 17.4.1 on iPhone 11 Pro : Did hard reboot after all apps frozen and unable to open- changed nothing, still freezing. Phone is glitchy. Updates are supposed to help and rectify issues. The next update can’t come soon enough to fix this one!!!

Dear Apple.

If you are reading this thread, HURRY UP & FIX THE ISSUE!!....please & thank you. Mwah! x

This is a user to user only forum, which no one from Apple actively participates.

You can let Apple know you're having an issue here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Looks to me like Apple should be sending those of us with new phones (purchased within the past few months) some information??

ipad 17.4.1 multiple reboots - still everything freezing. I’ll wait to update my phone given these problems.

I had a feeling I wasn’t the only person with the freezing up issue sometimes.. It started after iOS 17.4.1 update. Is there a fix for this issue?

I am experiencing this across the board. All of my devices are updated and having freezing issues! The worst and most consistent is my M1 iPad Pro. It has a constant delay from all inputs. Even after hard restarting.
