iPhone 15 plus apps lagging/not opening

Recently got an iPhone 15 plus, a lot of my apps take a while to load/open and often have to force close multiple times before loading. (app examples are Amazon, target, instagram, facebook,& some money apps.)

I've tried with WiFi, without WiFi, clearing my background apps, deleting unused apps/items to make space, updating software & apps, Restarting the phone; basically anything I could open source find on the internet. Nothing seems to be working and it's so disappointing to spend $1000 on a phone and it run worse than any iPhone I've had in the past.

Any tips or advice?

Hello,

Yeah, that is a tough question. It seems like that you've already tried everything here: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support

However, one thing that could cause your issue is low local storage. You should have at least 10% free space. See this:

How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Note: deleted photos are not necessarily deleted from the phone. You may have to go to Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted and delete them from there to truly free up storage.

Then restart your phone.

If no help, have the phone checked:

Find Locations

Let us know if you get it figured out.

Good luck.

I went to the Apple Store and he did a complete reset of my phone and Apple Watch. Like my memory was there in the cloud but I had to start from scratch with downloading apps (and signing in to everything). It really seemed to fix the issue. It’s been since probably the first week of January since I went to the apple store, and I haven’t had any issues since he performed the reset.

it sucked but well worth my phone operating as it should. However, I too am feeling like it’s time to switch to android lol best of luck!

Also, not sure if you have an Apple Watch but the series 3 when you reset it may or may not reconnect to the current IOS. It’s officially “outdated” so just be weary your watch may not work again if you have a series 3 or earlier version. Mine still works though so fingers cross anyone else’s does.

Yes most of the apps which were working in lower versions stopped working now. It’s frustrating that after spending so much money and it’s not worth it.
