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 It’s officially “outdated” so just be weary your watch may not work again if you have a series 3 or earlier version.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.
