Delete Bad Apps to Troubleshoot Crashing Problem

Sometimes there may be an application on your device that’s running in the background and causing your device to slow down or freeze. Usually, these types of apps need to be updated so that the freezing problem is fixed. Unfortunately, it can take some time to wait for new app updates, so you should go through your most recently installed apps and remove any that you installed that you think may have caused your device to start freezing. You can keep an eye on the app store listing for that app to see when an update for the freezing problem is released.

Factory Reset Apple iPhone X

If you’re still getting problems with your iPhone X, you may need to factory reset your device. By factory resetting your iPhone, you’ll be sending everything back to factory defaults. This means that any software settings that have changed since you took ownership of the iPhone will be reverted. This should hopefully fix any crashing problems you’ve been receiving. Make sure to perform a full backup of your files and photos before you go ahead with this step because doing a full factory reset will make you lose all of your data otherwise.

Turn on your device
Go to General under Settings
Browse and tap on Reset
Enter your Apple ID and Apple ID password
Now the process to reset your iPhone X should take a few minutes
Once reset, you’ll see the welcome screen asking you to swipe to continue

Tap Edit > Delete All to remove all of an app’s data

Lack of Storage
