iPhone 12 Pro Max screen freezing in Calendar, Reminders, and Notes after iOS 18.2.1 update

I Have iPhone 12 Pro Max lots of Storage & iCloud storage , Great Signal & Strong WiFi , so it’s not due to those issues !

I update automatically daily !

and

I have Had Issues with My Screen Freezing after I open my Structured Calendar App after inputting my Tasks . It froze temporarily & I couldn’t scroll the screen nor tap or get the screen itself to respond to any touch ! It took a long time to finally process its own ( information to finally respond I guess ) ? Idk my calendar of Tasks was very simple .

the other apps were also simple information input and yet they froze up too !

also: my Safari is closing and requiring sign in every time … I am not sure why , I do not save other sites I visit , just Can’t use Safari App like it’s supposed to be used when Tapping on it , it doesn’t take me to Safari … I just Had Apple Support Fix it On The Weekend before the California Fires & Winds 1/7/26 & then We got the IOS 18.2.1 update & now everything is all screwy !

Perhaps a long shot:

Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN.

No I don’t have it activated . I had checked to see if it was though just incase that was a possibility of being the cause . Thank you.

I did resolve it by following the Other Post suggestion .

I wasn’t doing the actual pressing of the buttons long $ short presses long enough to register! And quick and solid enough to register .

my fingers have nerve damage in them and I forget I can’t feel the actual buttons as I should .

thank You .
