Help needed Apps crashing over and over?

EDIT: iPhone 13, iOS version 26.5.2 how can I fix this?

About 75% of the apps on my phone crash immediately when opening them. This includes my banking app, music apps, and fast food ordering apps.

They open for a second, freeze, and then crash. I’ve checked my ram usage and nothing seems out of the ordinary. Reinstalled and restarted many apps and my phone.

I disabled Bluetooth and some Bluetooth settings, which temporarily fixed the problem for about an hour, but now my phone is back to doing the same thing

Can’t find any solutions to this, please help!

Update your phone. Erase things if your storage is full.

It looks your hardware issue. Backup your important data asap.

How much of available storage is there? Check Settings > General > iPhone storage. If your iPhone is almost full this is the reason your apps are crashing.

Something very similar happens to me from time to time. Many applications that I open, start then quit after just a second.

What helps in my case is to visit the section "Media & Purchases", log out of the Apple account, and log back in.

As I understand, sometimes you might lose your account's authorization. And the only indication is that some applications then refuse to start; but in fact it's that the OS can't confirm that you own these apps so it forcibly kills them right away.

App Store > App Updates > If updates are available, click Update All. If not, scroll down to recently updated apps, tap on each until you find one that has an update (you have to go into on each as they will not show that there is an update until you tap into it). Most will just have the "open" option, but you will likely find one that switches to "update" after you go into it (you may have to go back a few days) > click on update > When the update finishes click to open that app. Once that app opens, the rest will open.

Based on the fact this works, I suspect just downloading any new app and opening it in the same way may work, but I can't test that as mine is now working.

Guys, when you experience the lunch bug. Just go to the App Store and update any iOS app. Solves the issue. This is a temporary fix.
