iPhone 16 Pro - certain apps won’t load at all. They start and get stuck on the opening screen and then crash. Slowly it’s happening to more and more apps. I’ve tried everything except a reset because I don’t want to lose everything. I’ve tried offloading apps, reinstalling, power cycling… nothing fixes it. These are important apps like banking, now Walmart even. Is there a fix for this?!

Are you running low on Storage? Settings > General > iPhone Storage - how much space is available out of the total space?

Do you have a VPN installed on your iPhone? VPNs cause banking apps to not work, so unless your school or employer requires a VPN, one shouldn't be used on iPhone.

Have you Force Restarted your iPhone? This can often cure odd issues --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

If you do end up having to reset your phone, you won't lose data as long as you are doing what you should be doing in the first place, which is to be backing up your iPhone regularly --> Back up iPhone - Apple Support. My iPhone backs up EVERY night when plugged in to charge, with my iPhone connected to Wifi, using iCloud Backup.

I’ve tried all reboots and everything except reset

Memory isn't an issue, but if you add more apps/data to your iPhone in the coming months, it may be, so keep an eye on it.

VPN isn't the issue, and reboots aren't helping. iOS 27.2 was released today, so I'd recommend updating your phone to the most current version and see if that helps. Make sure the apps themselves are the latest versions as well.
