I have just updated my IPhone 6 to IOS 12.

Now, I cannot open anything from the main page (such as news notifications). Now does the Siri list of my most frequent App uses let me open them from that box on that page. All notifications are in a grey box, and they will not open, neither by sliding to the OPEN word or by tapping the notification. Any ideas?

1. Have you reset the phone?

Hold the home and sleep buttons down together... KEEP PRESSING until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears.

Let us know if that helped?

3. Or just hold down the sleep button

Unless the phone has crashed, just holding down the sleep button until it prompts you to "slide-to-power-off" should be enough.

The above should also work, but it is really designed for when iOS won't turn off normally.

5. Yes - thanks - just turning it off and on did the trick!

Duh - why didn't I think of that??? My I-Pad often needs that fix, but I seldom ever have anything go cantankerous on my phone.

4. I updated to iOS 12 on my iPhone 5se. That is a 6 in a 5 case. All is well.

Great suggestions from other posters. Def try what target practice suggested. Hope all goes well.
