iPhone 18.3 update freezes in family settings

Phone freezes when in family settings everyone I open it. When I close it down and go back to settings the screen goes black and freezes again. I have to close down again, go back to settings, click on family then wait about 10 seconds before going any further then it will work. A frustrating issue which needs looking at

I’m having the same issue. Mine just freezes and I have to force close myself out of the settings menu. Very frustrating.

iOS 18.3 causing freeze - preventing acce… - Apple Community


Until there is no fix provided use:

Settings=>Search „Screentime“=>Click the Family Member below of that screen=> the nect screen has the settings you need and this doesn‘t freeze.

This only works for me


Is there any reaction from Apple, like „Yes it is a bug“, „fix will provided“ …)?

Same issue here. Very frustrating as I use screentime for my child and am unable to access to turn on/off. I get to her profile but none of the options work after that. It completely freezes and I have to close out of it. A suggestion was to restart my phone, hopefully they come up with a fix asap.
