Freezing issue on iPhone after iOS 17.4.1 update

iPhone 13 Pro Max 17.4.1.

Can‘t do anything as many apps freeze immediately once opened.

Useless Apple. No statement and no fix. What is this?

and maybe it will freeze again after 24h….

after 24h my phone start to freeze again.

this morning I have restored all of my phone backingup only AppleApps and whatsup (photos, contact, note etc.).

I will use the basic app waiting for some problems… than I will install all the other apps.

Than… if everything will freeze again I will look for a Samsung Galaxy 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have the same issue with the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Wien i want to use the Share or the files App the App freezes.

the files App from Apple freezes the hole phone and an Hard reset is needed.

it appeared for me with the 17.4.1 version.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. App freezing and email issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

See what each update does: About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...

this will solve all the problems:

Go to Settings  > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.

1. Do one of the following:

• • Prepare your content and settings to transfer to a new iPhone: Tap Get Started, then follow the onscreen instructions. When you finish, return to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
  • Erase all of your data from iPhone: Tap Erase All Content and Settings.

Support will never know how to solve your problem if you have too many problems. So make a backup of your iPhone before proceeding with a reset. Resetting will solve all problems.

What mess?

I have no such issues.

what troubleshooting have you tried to resolve your issue?

This helped at least one freezing app, thanks!

Guys, activate Beta updates and install iOS 17.5. so far, no freezes anymore

Ever since I updated to 17.4.1 my phone is more useless than a dial up computer from the 90’s.

Almost every app freezes, and I can’t access my emails anymore.

Has anyone figured out a solution to this mess?

I have absolutely no such issues after iOS 17.4.1. Do the Forced Restart as already advised and make that procedure something you do after EVERY iOS update.

I have new 15 Pro Max. Not a freebee, either. Suddenly I find closing apps to be problematic.. I told Siri to do it and she told me to swipe up halfway, choose the app, then swipe up. Am I stupid or just old??

how I fix it all of my problems in few minutes…

“Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset”

Than select Restore iPhone Settings…

this will not delete all of your files but just the settings.

Delete also all the VPN settings

Than test it

Whatapps freeze n freeze… and very laggy.. hope will have another update to solve this problem.. I’m using 15plus and battery is draining fast and screen suddenly so hot. I don’t have such issues before..

I thought I'd see the restore option where I found reset option. It wasn't there. I ended up with a total mess!! I did find the restore option but too late!! I'm going to have to read the entire manual on td 15 Max Pro. And I use 3 fingers to swipe up for closing open windows!!
