      Hi Susan,
      Thanks for reaching out. I can understand that you are facing an issue related to your apps and you want to Reset to Factory Settings without losing the existing data. I would recommend is to create a backup of the existing data on your iPhone. As a solution to your query, you can check our software- “Stellar Toolkit for iPhone” which is capable of repairing the current iOS version of your iPhone without hampering the existing data on it. So, basically, it will replace the current iOS version with a fresh copy of the same by downloading it from the Apple server. I believe it resolves the issue.
      I hope it helps!

      Hi Ayah,
      No, while resetting your iPhone, you won’t be able to check or receive any calls or messages, even though it is highly advisable to create a backup before making any significant changes to it.

    Ever since I installed ios 12, my phone has been freezing on every app. Even after downgrading to 11.4.1 it’s becoming difficult to work. Is there anything I can do except resetting it ?
