Many users use the Home app to remotely control smart devices in their household, but some users reported that the Home app crashes or gets stuck on their iOS device.

How can I fix black screen on app startup on iOS?

1. Wait it out

Start the Home app.

Now, wait for a minute or two. In some instances, you might even have to wait longer.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, the application should start properly and you’ll be able to use it. In some cases, you might get an option to reset the app after waiting, so be sure to select this option.

Note: Several users reported that they had to wait over 20 minutes before the reset option appears, so keep that in mind.

2. Delete the automations

Open the Home app.

Now delete all automations that used the Convert to shortcut option.

After deleting them, check if the problem is still there.

This might be a workaround, but many users reported that it worked for them, so be sure to try it out.

3. Update iOS and reinstall the Home app

Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS installed.
