Wife's (sorry no pics) iPhone 6 is constantly shutting down apps for no apparent reason. Not all apps (Facebook seems to work along with a few others), but Safari, Instagram, Pinterest, and most other apps she uses will crash after a very short period of time if they even load at all. I have tried doing a back-up and restore, but I am trying to avoid restoring to factory settings if at all possible.

Does anyone have experience with this issue? I have searched online but haven't had a whole lot of success finding suggestions that don't involve restoring to factory setting or shipping in the phone. If it makes a difference, she is running the latest iOS.

factory restore is probably your best option at this point, unless you live near an Apple store.

Stupid question but you have updated the apps, right?

Safari on my 6+ crashes often so I just use Chrome and have no issues. Nothing else crashes.

I'll check tonight, but I am almost certain they're updated.

Looks like I'll be doing a factory reset.

Before I wiped the phone and did a factory reset, I asked the mrs a few more questions and really narrowed the problem down to Safari crashing and other apps crashing when they try to access safari so I'm thinking it's a Safari issue, not her phone. Also, she said it only started happening after she recently updated her iOS.

All that being said, does anyone have a recommendation for a full browser to use in lieu of Safari?

Chrome. All iOS browsers use the safari frameworks btw.
