iPhone keeps freezing in the Settings app after updating to iOS 18.2?

After updating my iPhone to iOS 18.2, I’ve noticed that the Settings app keeps freezing randomly. Sometimes it becomes unresponsive when navigating through menus, and I have to force close it or restart my phone to make it work again.

I’ve tried:

  • Restarting my iPhone
  • Force quitting the Settings app
  • Resetting all settings
  • Checking for available storage

But the issue still persists. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions or workarounds? Thanks!
