The app is constantly freezing and I have to swipe it away from running apps to open again. This happens in different areas of the app, but most commonly it happens when I try to organize a library browse by date added. When I click the sort button it freezes the whole app and the cycle repeats

So this has happened for about a week… but just trying it again after posting, now all is resolved

my iPad app still does this. Even if I am lucky enough to see my libraries, the drop-down menu grays the screen and the app freezes. Every time.

My app freezes on my iPhone 17 with ios 26 as soon as Ii want to select an other categorie in my library. Have to kill the app and reload but it keeps on happening.

I am also getting constant freezes on the iOS Plex app running on an iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.6.2. It occurs every time I go to browse my library, or if I try to press any of the filter buttons, or even switch to collections.

Of course the old Plex app never froze. And other apps like a HTPC work flawlessly. But when they switched to the new app design on iOS earlier this year, everything broke and it’s a shame it hasn’t been patched yet to a functional status. Plex needs to focus on fixing bugs before implementing any other features.

Still happening for me :sneezing_face:

Same here. iPhone 15pro. After upgrading to IOS 26 (now at 26.2), the Plex app freezes after clicking any link.

Happening for me when I try to filter or sort. Basically makes the iOS app useless. I can only use it if i search for something specific and then hit play, because browsing the Libraries freezes the app
