iPhone 16 Pro Max freezing after iOS 18.3 update

This is happening to me on all apps. Mostly Safari.

This issue is very annoying and persistent. Just logging in to my Apple ID to contribute to this post, the display was registering 1/2 touches and I fought with the continue button, however I noticed the swipe down to refresh the page worked no probpem

each time but the continue button would not register.

Prior to discovering this discussion by google searching the matter, I was on the Reddit app fighting with the display to register touches. Happens on any app or system page, (Reddit, Safari, Messages, Camera, Lock Screen)

I’m currently on iOS 18.2.1, iPhone 16 Pro Max, and refused to do the update at first after coming across a post noting multiple issues including this one.

I think there’s a real issue in the IOS system and not the device and would like to see this resolved as soon as possible

More than likely an issue with Telegram. Try deleting the app and downloading a new copy from Apple App Store.

I have the same problem( iPhone 16 pro max iOS 18.3)

18.3 no touch freeze…

Possibly owned almost every generation of iPhones and now 16 Pro feels like a low water mark. (have both max and regular)

On both either touch stops working or freezing up on random apps, no or bad network functionality although full 5G or full network connection - all upgrades done - now on 18.3.

What to do ( have two sims if which one e-sim) on each phone) 🤯

I've seen no such issues on my iPhone iPhone 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max running iOS 18.3. Does this happen with multiple apps, or just one app? If one app, that app may not have been updated by the app developer to work properly on iOS 18.3.

After EVERY iOS update, I immediately Force Restart my iPhone, which is a recommended thing to do. Force Restart your phone and see if that helps --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support (CA)

Keep this procedure handy and remember to use it after iOS updates.

Also happening to me too

Then there's no issue with your iPhone. It's the Telegram app. Do as Jeff suggests, but if it doesn't help, you'll need to reach out to them directly. Apple doesn't own them or their app.

Follow the Apple article to resolve the issue --> If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen ...

have this issue, no telegram app.

I'll ask siri to send a text often hey siri text xxxxxxx and it'll populate then freeze and will not respond to any touch.

16 pro with 18.3
