iPhone freezes when typing, opening apps, won't play videos
Suddenly this morning my Iphone has started acting very strange. I was being called on Facebook Messenger and when I went to answer it just froze up and restated.
Since then, apps take long to load up which they're probably freezing on open, the apps freeze generally whether I'm typing or scrolling or whatever for example Whatsapp. I’ve tried playing videos on Tiktok, Instagram and Youtube and they just take very long to load and I keep freezing every 2 seconds.
Additionally I'm also getting things like when I answer the phone it will take 10 seconds after answering to actually answer, when I change the volume the whole phone will freeze up and opening the camera there's just a black screen for a couple of seconds.
The only place where the phone doesn't seem to freeze up is the home screen. I'm swiping back and forth between the pages and it doesn't flinch. Additionally, when the phone freezes when I'm in any app I can still pull down the notification centre or exit the app which is very strange.
Edit: So I just tried to make another call on FB Messenger and Instagram. it froze, black screen and restarted.
It's very frustrating to say the least, being borderline unusable.
The device is 14 Pro Max. I was on 17.2.1 and I've updated to 17. 3 to see if it was a software issue but is still remains, also force closed all apps and restarted.
Any ideas? Please help
