iPhone 13 Professional Max working iOS 17.1.2.
Beginning a number of months in the past, the built-in Cellphone app (the one which exhibits the calls historical past and permits you dial a cellphone quantity, with the icon within the type of a inexperienced cellphone) started to hold noticeably when began. It might show a clean black web page for ten seconds or so, then the app’s interface would lastly seem and every little thing could be good.
Beginning very lately, the Cellphone app now not works in any respect. It shows the standard clean black display screen when its icon is tapped, sits on it for about 30 seconds, then closes and returns to the house display screen.
(I’ll speculate that the app’s behaviour has not modified, simply the delay has gotten so lengthy that the OS now kills the app earlier than it has an opportunity to lastly show the interface.)
So, at this level, it is unimaginable to see who known as you, and to dial a quantity that’s not already saved within the contacts.
The Cellphone app does nonetheless show the sticker with the variety of the missed calls, nevertheless it won’t allow you to see who that was.
On-line options for apps misbehaving on this means find yourself with the recommendation to delete the app and set up it once more. Sadly, the built-in Cellphone app can’t be deleted.
How would I diagnose and repair it with out resetting the cellphone?
We do not need to do a reset as a result of there are some apps on the cellphone which are now not out there within the retailer. There’s a MacBook out there if it may be of any use. E.g. I might take into account deleting all the calls historical past to see if that helps in any respect; can that be performed with the assistance of a MacBook on condition that the Cellphone app won’t do it?
