iPhone 6 updated to ios9 screen goes black when I open an app

i recently updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 9. Every time I open an app now the screen goes black and I have to push the home button and click on the app again for it to work. Any fix ideas?

Confirm issue persists after 9.0.2, but this bug wasn't specifically addressed... Not sure if it is doing a call with a wired headset/voice activated or Safari. Switching to Safari if already open seems to bring this back from a reboot too...


Please, Apple, you've done a great job with the hardware part, so could you use all those amazing talents and resources to make the new software part work as intended again?

My wife started having the issue with the screen going black when opening any app on Tuesday. She has an iPhone 6s that came with iOS 9. She since upgraded to iOS 9.0.1 and then 9.0.2 when it was released. The issue persisted. This morning, I performed a hard restart on her phone by holding the home and power buttons until the screen turned black and turned back on with the Apple logo. Only time will tell if that fixed the issue.


I also got an iPhone 6s at the same time. Like her, I started at iOS 9, updated to 9.0.1 on Monday, and then updated to 9.0.2 early this morning (around 3 AM EST). I have not had any issues.
