iOS 27: Returning back to in-app Share Sheet from ChatGPT freezes host app

 iOS 27 on an iPhone 17

09/22/2026

Reproducing app: Zillow app for iOS (version 2026.69.0) - this reproduces with ANY that app that has a share option which options the iOS Share Sheet 

Share destination: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic's Claude and Mistral's Vibe. 

Description: 

After sharing content from a third-party app (reproduced and screenshot with the latest version of the Zillow iOS app) to ChatGPT iOS via the Share Sheet's "More" list and then tapping the back arrow in the ChatGPT app to return to the third-party app results in the third-party app being completely unresponsive. A reboot of the third-party app is required. 

This appears to be happening with Google Gemini's, ChatGPT's, Claude's and Mistral's Vibe iOS app. This is awful end user experience with iOS 27. 

Steps to Reproduce: 

1. Open Zillow (or any app with a share option) and navigate to any listing/content with a share button.

2. Tap the in-app Share icon to open the iOS share sheet. 

3. In the row of app icons, tap the "More ..." 

4. From the App screen/full app list, select "ChatGPT"

5. ChatGPT opens with a new chat referencing the shared content. 

6. Tap the back arrow in the upper-left of the ChatGPT screen to return to the originating app (Zillow)

Expected Result: Zillow should regain responsiveness immediately - apps should not be frozen 

Actual Result: Entering into an iOS app chat bot via the iOS Share sheet (in this case the ChatGPT app) and then backing out and returning to the original app results in the app being unresponsive - reboot of the app is required 

Select the share option from inside any app (this is Zillow app) 

Select the "More ..." option from the iOS Share Sheet 

Select the iOS app version of an AI chatbot like "ChatGPT"...

Use the option in the upper left to return back to the app...

App is frozen. Bad end user experience. 

iOS 26.6.2: Springboard UI freeze and home gesture failure after tapping "More" in Share Sheet with no active background apps

iOS version 26.6.2

Model: iPhone 17

Active Apps: None (App Switcher is empty/ "No Recent Apps" state) 

Description:

When there are no background apps running in memory, initiating a "Share App" action from any Home Screen icon and selecting the "More" option in the iOS Share Sheet causes the system interface (SpringBoard) to freeze. 

The device handles the initial web link redirect through Safari to the App Store, but once inside the App Store, but once inside the App Store, the system's gesture recognizers fail completely. Swiping up on the home bar does not minimize the app, trigger the App Switcher, or respond to navigation. Dock apps and system controls become completely unresponsive, placing the device in a semi-frozen state that requires a forced hardware reboot to resolve. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Clear all background apps from memory so the App Switcher is empty. 

2. Long-press any app icon on the Home Screen to bring up the action menu. 

3. Select Share App.

4. On the iOS Share Sheet, tap the More icon (...) in the app list row. 

5. Observe as Safari briefly opens a web URL and hands execution off to the App Store app. 

6. Attempt to swipe up from the bottom home indication bar to exit the App Store or open the App Switcher. 

Expected Result:

The device should allow normal gesture navigation (swiping up to go home or accessing the App Switcher) without interrupting the SpringBoard's window management. 

Actual Result: 

The home bar gesture and lower UI controls become entirely unresponsive. SpringBoard enters a UI deadlock, trapping the device on the App Store page and forcing a manual hard reboot to restore full system function.

There are no active apps on the phone.

Select "Share App" from any Home Screen icon...

Select the More "..." option on the app list from the iOS Share Sheet...

Select the "Safari" option from the "Suggestions" list...

The user is whisked in (and out) of this screen...

Swipe up from the Apple App Store screen...

The device is in a semi-frozen state. Can't swipe through the home screen apps, can't activate app, etc. Phone must be rebooted. 

Woot app for iOS: The "terms of use" link in the app is dead

 iOS 26.6.1

Woot app for iOS (version 6.2.0)

09/10/2026

Description:

There is a dead link inside of the Woot app for iOS (version 6.2.0). The "terms of use" app that appears on the Woot Sign-in page is dead. It presumably should lead to a readable terms of use page. Specifically, this terms of use page: https://archive.is/ZRpVi

Note this problem also occurs with the Woot Android app. 

This is the "terms of use" link that works on a Chromebook:

https://www.woot.com/terms?ref=w_ft_wiw_tc

https://archive.is/ZRpVi

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Woot app for iOS (version 6.2.0)

2. Select the "Account" option at the bottom right of the screen 

3. Select the "Log in to Woot" option 

4. Press the "terms of use" link on the Woot sign-in page 

Result: The "terms of use" link does not work inside of the Woot app for iOS. Users are unable from reading the terms of use before creating at account 

Expected: The "terms of use" link inside of the iOS app should work - users should be able to read the terms of use 

Please see the screenshots below:

Download and launch the Woot app for iOS (version 6.2.0)
