iPhone X - Black loading screen after unlocking?

Hi there,


I just got the iPhone X on Saturday and I've noticed that I when I unlock my screen (using the passcode), there is a black loading screen that shows up sometimes for a few seconds and then reverts back to the lock screen where I have to unlock again.


I have already tried resetting all settings. Then I tried a factory reset and the issue still persisted.


Anyone facing a similar issue or has a fix? Thanks.

iPhone X, iOS 11.1, null

I have an iPhone SE and have been experiencing the same problem the last couple days. I do not have any kind of passcode set up, so when I press the home button to unlock my screen, it sometimes shows a black loading screen. Occasionally it will make me unlock my screen a second time and still have the black loading screen. No idea what is causing it, but I've tried resetting and setting it up as a new iPhone as well as restore from back-up and am still having the same issue.

It is a shame to pay so much money and support Apple for so many years and this is happening.


With no reason at all, this just started to occur to my brand new iPhone X.


Restart, reboot, shutdown, update, back up, reset settings nothing works ..



It is a shame for me PERSONALLY to feel that I have paid so much money and have something that DOES NOT WORK .

same situation here. was on an app, and my phone autolocked after a minute and when i let in the passcode, it shows a black loading screen that runs for a couple of seconds then throws me back to the lock screen and i have to unlock again. i first thought it was the app i opened but it keeps happening even when i'm on home screen, autolocks and black loading page. it seriously is getting really frustrating.

I took it to the Apple Store and they said to update it to the latest software (one came out like an hour before I went) and that if it happens again, bring it back.


It did happen again, so I started to see if it would happen with face unlock and I haven’t seen the issue since.


I assume it’s a bug with the passcode unlock so I haven’t brought it back yet as there are no other issues with the phone and I don’t see the black loading screen anymore. I hope they address it though.
