The problem could be because of the cached data present on your device and in order to clear the cache data you need to go to Settings > General > Storage and USB and click on Cached data and then OK to delete it.

Solution No.3

Freezing or crashing could happen because of excessive memory use also. You can go to Settings > General > Memory > Memory used by apps and check for anything which is using a lot of memory space. There could be a faulty third party app which is the cause of the problem. You can then turn on the Safe Mode and see if everything works fine.
