iOS 9, unable to delete apps, screen froze

Hi,


After upgrading to iOS9, I was unable to delete apps. I press and hold until the app icon wiggles, and then the screen froze, even though the icons are still wiggling. Had to force restart.


Anyone have the same problem?


Cheers

iPhone 6, iOS 9

Hello,


Sorry to hear you are having issues after updating to IOS 9.

Have you tried giving your Iphone a hard reboot?


"Sometimes your iPhone can lock up completely and not respond to any input. In this case, the iPhone can usually be forced to reboot:

1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up."

HI Jimy Y


'googled' the problem in yesterday and found the answer to our problem. Go to Settings, General, Storage & Wi Fi Usage, Manage Storage. You should be able to see all the apps you have downloaded there. Click on the little grey arrow to the right hand side of the app you want to delete and you can do it from there. It worked for me, I've deleted a few this way.


Good Luck
