iPhone keeps freezing and becomes unresponsive
Random freezing means your iPhone is running low on available memory or storage space. Close apps running in the background, delete old photos and videos, and restart your phone. If freezing continues, check your storage — you need to delete more files.
Your iPhone juggles multiple tasks at once: running apps, responding to touches, syncing data. When you run low on memory or storage, the processor has to slow down and manage limited resources. This causes freezing. one or two apps are running too much in the background.
