This sounds like you have a hardware or software issue on your phone. make a backup (if you aren't using icloud backups already) and then make a genius bar appt. and see if they can fix this. I have never seen that level of glitchy-ness on an iphone without there being a serious issue. either on my own phones or during nearing a decade in IT.

Yes, I have a hardware and a software issue: the root cause is that it's an iPhone running iOS as normal.

This isn't a hardware defect or a broken install. It's just mediocre software, nothing more. This isn't even that glitchy. All those things don't usually happen at once, although they are recurring - including for friends on different device generations, ruling out unlucky hardware and moon rays.

I agree with parent. You phone is broken, my friend. In the years I've been using iOS, these have happened to me less than a handful of times. Definitely not something I would ever remember if not prompted.

I'm sorry, but it's just not particularly believable that all devices in my vicinity should have rare hardware faults that cause the mentioned software crashes and glitches.

As mentioned, they are reproduced on devices of friends of different generations, and my earlier devices were no saints either.

Plus, remember the debugging manual: When software bugs out, it's safe to assume it's always the software that's broken. Suspicion of kernel, compiler or hardware faults come after the software has been proven free of fault (which you can't reasonably do without source access).

Man, software occasionally erroring out.

That eliminates...nearly all software ever created. Good luck out there

Yeah I don't get why people find bugs to be an unbelievable concept here... :/

HN should know that "works for me" is not a good answer to an issue report...
