Text, call, and FaceTime freezes immediately after touching one thing in the app, iphone SE software 15.5. Cannot see any new messages or calls either. Tried every reset. And can’t access those three apps in settings as it will freeze as well.

Thank you for checking, Abau99, and for replying with more info.

Here are a few more possibilities (Apple Support links) you might want to browse through:

Unable to open Message or Facetime settings. Same symptoms of Abau99 6.2.22 post.

Stopped working two weeks ago while in middle of texting. Have gone through all recommendations: upgrade latest version 15.5; sign out/in of apple Id; reset all settings, etc. Nothing.

When attempt to open in Settings>Message settings, screen freezes. I am able to close out of Settings without entire phone freezing, however, but when I attempt to reopen Message or Facetime settings, freeze again.

Checked/rechecked phone service - I have unlimited text. Iphone6s.
