Re: [apple-iphone] recurring issue with contacts app (Iphone 8)

Not /the/ answer:

The "thing going on" could have to do with iCloud synchronization. Like with a poor connection (now or before) resulting in corrupted data.

Again, not /the/ answer, but a reasonable guess.

(Me, I lost draft e-mail messages on one of my iOS devices due to Google's server trouble in California and I may well have lost some One Note notes with Microsoft, even though I'm in Europe.)

lately I when I tap CONTACTS It opens normally but as soon as I try to do anything, such as search for a contact, create a new contact, anything , the app freezes.

Often as I start to type the name of the contact I want to find it might allow 2 or 3 letters then no more.

After that its frozen for what seems like several minutes, and then the app may or many not shut off on its own.

I can retry after shut off but same thing will happen

The ONLY remedy appears to be a complete phone shutdown and restart which obviously is a pain to do each time I want to access contacts.

Now after shutdown and restart it will work normally for a while but within the same day, hours later the issue will resurface.

Whats going on?

Is there a reasonable fix for this problem?

or do I just have a defective phone?
