Apps collapsing immediately after launch on iPhone

hi,

today my iphone 17-256, ios 26.6 started to have issues, all apps not included with the OS collapse immediately after launching, either 'vanishing' to the left or bottom screen side

A phone restart, operated several times, didn't fix the issue

Any hints are appreciated

iPhone 17, iOS 26

Same here. It worked at first but then 3rd party apps automaticly shut down. Some works other not, and it changes.... Perfect for a top of the line product.

Which solution worked for you? I tried uninstalling and installing but it works for one time and then stop working again.
