Your iPhone resets due to a lack of memory

It’s possible that your iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR is freezing because you do not have enough memory on your smartphone.

To free up space on your device, close apps that you are not using right now to free up working memory (also known as RAM) on your iPhone and only have apps running that you are currently using at the moment. People have a tendency to open apps on their phone then simply switching to using another app while keeping the first app running in the background. This practice usually works fine if you have just a few apps running but beyond that and having multiple apps running in the background while trying to use yet another app can use up all the iPhone’s memory.

Also, delete apps that you no longer use to free up disk space on your iPhone, which can help your iPhone run smoother. It’s a good practice to periodically delete apps that you no longer use.
