Hi, I updated to ios 11 on my 64GB iPhone 6s without any issues. But since doing so my phone has stopped working 3 times. The problem is that the phone freezes and I can't press any apps or open app switcher, it's just dead. I have to do a force restart to get back up running again.
iPhone 6s, iOS 11
Exact same issue... Wasn't immediate after update, just started a day or two ago. I've had to hard reset 3-4 times now. Several otherwise reliable apps open very slow or more often crash without opening
I am using iPhone SE 64GB with latest iOS 11.0.3. I am not seeing a crash or freeze anymore and the overall system is stable and running smooth.
Here is what I did and I strongly feel that the freezing is related to location services: [Before making following adjustments, my iPhone used to crash or freeze many times]
My iPhone 6S 128gb froze for the first time this morning. I have taken the IOS 11 updates over the last 4 weeks or so, which slowed it down a lot over IOS 10 (which I would have reverted to if it had not been withdrawn).
For what it is worth, while frozen it
A forced restart appears to have returned it to normal function for now. Let's see.
Hi,
That’s what Apple support recommend. I set up as new phone and it was fine for a day then did it again today. I went to make a call and opened the folder with my phone app in. I pressed the phone app and nothing happened, the phone froze again and would not respond. Force restart worked. I guess there’s just a bug in the iOS or one of the apps
Hi Lawrence,
I tried this and it settled down for a day. It then froze again. I have since upgraded to an iPhone 7 plus (didn't fancy the 8 for some reason) and it has again frozen. I keep my phone and message apps in a folder. I had gotten a missed call, I opened the folder and pressed the phone app. The app would not open, I could close the folder then my phone was again frozen. There is definately a bug in the ios 11 that needs addressing.
If it was definitely a bug in iOS 11 then I would have it also. And about 100 million other users. And I keep my phone and several other apps in a folder also. If you just wait for Apple to fix this non-bug that is actually something wrong on your phone you will grow old first.
Restore the phone using iTunes and set it up as New. Don't add any apps, don't set up any mail accounts, don't even log in to iCloud. See if it works. Most likely it will, meaning it is not a bug in iOS, because if it was the problem would still be there. Then start adding stuff back. First, log in to iCloud. If that is OK then add your email, and apps, a few at a time.
Running ios 11.01 on a 7+ 128 gb, froze up this morning, looks like the phone icon is in use, tried calling my phone from a land line and it rings but does not ring on the iphone, eventually goes to voicemail.
I Phone 7Plus here. Phone freezes randomly with various different apps. Today it was voice mail and access to calling. Had to go through contacts to make the call. Forced restart has worked thus far.
Please get the bug fixed Apple!
Not entirely true Lawrence. There have been instances over the years where Apple have issued software updates to fix various issues such as battery drain etc. I haven't been affected by these issues when lots of others have which would suggest that not every phone gets affected by software bugs.
It is also a huge waste of my time having to reset my phone and lose lots of data at the same time. I pay premium money for my apple products so I don't have to do these sorts of things.
I have had this exact problem right here. It happens when my iphone 6s auto locks or manually locked for a few minutes.
I'd press the power button to wake it and I'd get the black screen, the spin wheel comes up and takes a moment to wake.
I've tried restarts and resets but still have that problem.
MY iPhone 6 was working fine before installing the new update iOS 11 now it freezes when opening an app or while using it I just updated it a few days ago I’m very upset I don’t know what to do because my phone for work as a driver and it freezes when using the gps or using the app for work or even when going an any app, I feel like apple is doing this in purpose to force us to buy the newer models but that’s wrong because I can’t afford a new phone :/ I am
Very angry and I think I’m gonna have to switch to Samsung after being an iPhone user since the original one came out ! Apple needs to do something now ! :/
iPhone 7plus freezing frequently throughout the day. 11.01 doesn’t help at all. I’ve never had such a buggy version of iOS, and I’ve been a user since iPhone. Really poor quality control here, I’m concerned about the direction Apple is heading
iPhone 6s Plus 128gb here and after 11 update had a few issues that were annoying so I was happy to see another update so soon so updated and now the phone will lock up for up to a minute at a time now. It’s very annoying and hopefully Apple will fix that issue soon. It does not appear to be related with any app from what I can see because it’s locked up on the home screen not doing anything on the phone. I’ve noticed also that my volume buttons are not always working now as well and I hook my phone up to my car stereo via Bluetooth and play music and it used to always transmit the song data to the radio for display as well as album artwork and now it will still connect and play but I can no longer fast forward to next song and nothing is being sent to the radio as it just shows a blank screen now and I have to use phone to make changes which is more dangerous while driving so that is annoying as well. I’m hoping this will all get fixed soon with another update.
I'm having the same issue. iPhone 7+ 256gb, started the day I upgraded to iOS 11. Upgraded to 11.0.1 two days ago and still having apps freeze several times a day. Sometimes I can't even power cycle it and it takes 60-120 seconds before it just randomly starts working and processes all the clicks I did while it was frozen. I'm about ready to trade it in for a more reliable phone.
Hi, I jave 7+256gb and I have the same issue, phone is freezing randomly, I mena apps and whole system. I have already did comlete restore and it doesnt solve anything.
