Iphone search bar freezes when searching for an app

How come the Iphone freezes or takes a few seconds to search for the apps installed on the app?

I mean, the whole Siri suggestions and swipe-down-to-search experience is so buggy and slow right now when it comes to typing an app name and wait for it to show up in search results.

I am on IOS 16

Spotlight search showing "dead" apps bug ios 16.5 a VERY annoying bug after installing 16.5. I can no use spotlight search on my iPhone for all apps. Some apps do not come up in search at all and when they do they come as this "Dead" grid icon that you can't click. I have tried Hard reset Soft reset Moving the app out of app library installing and uninstalling the app Turning siri searchable on and off Resetting network and location settings Note that it doesn't impact all apps but enough that its annoying. A long way to get around it is to search the app on the app store and open from there but that is obviously ridiculous. Apart from rolling back the update to 16.0 any other suggestions

Apps not searchable in spotlight search in ios 16 Hi, Since I upgrades to iOS 16 on my iPhone 13 pro, the installed apps stopped appearing in the spotlight search results. Apple's preinstalled apps do show up. I checked in the parameters that all the apps are indeed included in the SIRI suggestions. Sometimes, the app appears, but the icon is absent, and the tile is not clickable. Rebooting doesn't help. Thank you

iPhone App library bug (iPhone freezes, buttons not responsive) I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and recently I noticed that when I enter the app library, I press the search button, then press the space bar, exit the app library and enter it again. After 5-6 seconds, the phone's screen freezes, the touch screen does not work, the buttons cannot be pressed, it is necessary to restart or wait for 1-2 minutes. Fix this. please

Try it in the App Library it is a lot easier.
