iphone 6s spinning wheel on black screen

When I use my phone and opening apps sometimes the spinning wheel keeps coming up and it returns to the unlock screen.

I´ve updated to IOS 10 and all apps are up to date.

Any suggestion on this problem?

Ok, so, more progress on this:

It's definitely related to Apple's problem with the change to December 2nd (+iOS 11.1.2 +iPhone 6/6s). Three sources enlighten the possible source of the issue:

App with local notification will crash iOS Springboard on Dec. 2 | Hacker News

I tried:

  • Soft restart
  • Reset to iCloud backup (erase and reset all settings)


None of this worked.


While reading this I learnt it’s related to some apps and it’s notifications. And someone at Hacker News discovered HEADSPACE was causing it. So I went and removed Headspace and it worked! Incredible huh? I’ll download the app again after a meaningful update is released.


If you don’t have Headspace and it’s still happening, go and work on the notifications as the first article explained.


Hope it works for you as well.
