ios 11 update phone freezing

I had a ton of issues with 11.03, upgraded to 11.1 last Friday. While I no longer get the black screen with the spinning circle, I still have apps freeze up constantly requiring a hard restart.

I’ve done fresh installs, manually downloaded apps instead of using my backup at the request of the apple genius, and still have issues.

The phone seems to have a hard time multitasking with this o.s.; if I’m typing or browsing and an alert comes in, that’s when it locks up most often.

Shame since this 7 isn’t even a year old and was flawless prior to 11

iOS 11.2 is currently in beta testing. If you have already contacted AppleCare or gone to an Apple Store your issues are already known and being looked at. If not go here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple and provide as much detail as possible. It will not take long to do so.

I believe my issue is finally solved since updating to iOS 11.1. It’s definitely not as snappy as it used to be in iOS 10 (has a general lag when locking the screen and unlocking, sometimes the time is stale, current playing song is stale for a few seconds, etc.) but I can say that it has not completely froze since I’ve updated 3 or so weeks ago.

Prokey, thanks for sharing your details. I have iPhone SE + first gen iPad Air which both start crashing when I use Tinder on them, without Tinder they work properly. From apps you listed we have in common:

Tinder, IG, Facebook, Whatsapp (not in my iPad), Uber, Google Maps, MyFitnessPal

I have two email accounts (Gmail & Office365) configured on my iPhone but none on my iPad, so I assume its not related to email accounts. I'll try to remove those common apps temporarily from my iPhone to see if that makes any difference.

These don't actually help in the long term. Apple replaced my phone for me, because they wouldn't admit it was a software issue. I have a brand new phone which I did NOT restore from a backup, and once I installed all my apps that I use and signed in to iCloud, it started freezing again. So it's either a unique combination of apps or it's something in my iCloud account.

Mine is a 6 and is crashiNg to a black screen with the spinning I can in the middle. Then it goes to a lock screen and I start from the beginning. I cannot erase data or do anything on my phone that takes longer than a minute. It is extremely frustrating. It sounds like it something quite the terminal and perhaps affecting a lot more users than anyone ever anticipated. I just went to Apple store here in Croatia which is just an authorized dealer and they told me they would be resetting or installing my iOS. I can see that this would fix the problem. I’m not sure if I would ever be able to download any new update is my phone is locking itself out every minute.

craaaazy

Same issue here. iPhone 6S, phone has frozen 5 times since upgrading to iOS 11. It has frozen when opening apps and when launching the camera from the lock screen.

Hi

Update software to ios 11.0.2 some bug fixes.

Cheers

Can you open the notification center or control center?

Yes. 11.1 is doing good so far on my 6S. No more freezes. But the battery is still draining.

I read pretty much all the thread, and I think the app we all have in common is Tinder.

What about replying them about that crap of software which is freezing the iOS ??

Ask apple customer service to check your battery. You can do it in online.

If it’s ok then no point of replacing battery. It’s a software issue. Mine froze 4 x yesterday. I had to restart it 4 times

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

Same thing happening to my iPhone 6 Plus after updating to iOS 11. Basically it hangs on a black screen a few times a day, eventually you may see a small spinning icon in the middle of the screen then after a minute or two it comes back on. Took some video of it the last time it happened.

Also having intermittent problems with my Bluetooth earphones as well after updating. Wondering if it’s related... :-(.

Similar issue on my iPhone SE. It just freezes at random during normal usage. It started happening after updating to iOS 11.

Tried restoring from iTunes backup, no luck.

Now trying with resetting all settings. Let's see.

Looks like an issue with iOS 11.
