IPhone freezes: 4 solutions
It happens to every iPhone user from time to time: your iPhone freezes. The device is no longer responding to anything, the screen is “stuck” or you cannot get rid of the well-known Apple logo.
This is annoying, of course, but usually there isn’t much to worry about. After all, iPhone is a computer and these devices sometimes get stuck. Therefore, your iPhone being unresponsive sometimes is part of the problem.
However, it is important to know better what needs to be done. That’s why we’ve listed some solutions for you below. Click one of the links below to go directly to advice for your situation.

When a specific app crashes, the solution is simple: close it. You can do this on iPhones without the home button, from iPhone X released in 2017, by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. You will now see all recently opened apps. Scroll up the troubled path.
On an iPhone that has a Home button, for example a iPhone SE from 2020 On IPhone 8 From 2017, press this button twice to open recent apps list. Then wipe the affected app away.
Is the annoying application causing your device to constantly crash? Then it is better to remove it. You can do this by pressing and holding the app icon until all the apps start to vibrate. Then tap on the cross to delete the rejected app from your iPhone.
2. Restart: A fresh start for your iPhone
