ios 11 update phone freezing

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

This reply was kind of self-righteous. Why do some people believe that because a problem hasn't hit them, the problem doesn't exist... "Well it isn't raining where I live, so rain does not exist!"

I too have this freezing issue, it persisted with the device completely reset, with no apps or data installed. Apple have got genuine code problems, and I know plenty of other users experiencing this issue.

Steve Jobs would have never let this happen.. Shame on you Apple. I have been an Apple fan boy since iphone3. The only reason I tried a Samsung was because of the size of the screen. Since the 6Plus I knew I would never go back to Android... Untill now....... I am so disappointed... My 6Plus has frozen every other day since os11 update and sometimes more than three times a day.............. When Android users would ask me why iphone, I would always say, because it just works... all the time... untill now...........

I contacted Apple they agree to get me new battery since I am out of

warranty however no batteries in SG overall.


Shows how many users in queue with same issue.


Apple should really think about their relationship now as I’ve lost trust

in iPhone or iOS devices afters few repeated mistakes and updates making

our pockets shell out for their inappropriate product rollouts.

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... :-(.

Connect the phone to iTunes, back it up, then restore iOS using iTunes.

Same problem here, since day one of update to ios11, my phone (iphone 7 128gb) keeps freezing at least 5 times a day with normal use. It’s really annoying, can’t even make phone calls. Other thing is that i can’t change the volume with the buttons and need to restart or force restart to make them work.


Really worst update in iphone history. I’m really dissapointed.

It looks like I might have a solution. I think it is a problem with Location Services. I noticed the problem was happening with apps which accessed location frequently, so I tried settings>General>Reset Location & Privacy Settings. Since doing so I haven’t had a freeze in 24hrs. You re-authorise apps as and when. I don’t think it’s one particular app that causes the issue, just when lots of apps access the location services. Let me know if it works for you
