I woke up today and Siri won’t do anything. I try to go into the Siri settings and the app just freezes.

I try try to open Facebook and I just get a blank shell of Facebook and nothing happens.

The same with instagram. Try to open. Just white page for 10 sec then crashes.

Also if I try to check for a software update in setting a I get an error.

Not sure what happened but all this was working yesterday.

Anyone else with the same issues?

I'm having the same exact issue as well. Started yesterday morning for me. Clicking links in Safari also freeze the app and causes it to crash. Opening the Feedback Assistant app causes the same white screen issue so I can't report any of this.
 
I consistently have to “kill” apps and do the volume up, volume down, hold power reset because things freeze or stop working. That’s the beta life.
 
So I tried a reset all settings. That essentially bricked the phone. Got stuck on Apple logo. Then had to enter into DFU mode and restore to iOS 11 since trying to restore to iOS 12 didn’t work from iTunes. Kept getting a message saying I needed to download something.

Finally set up as new and put iOS 12 beta back on. Then reset all content and settings and restored from backup.

Beta life
 
I had his (posted several posts in the beta 4 thread).

For me it was Facebook, Messenger, YoUTube that didn’t work. Could have been others.

Spotlight and Siri not working.

Erase all content and settings worked but only after signing out of iCloud. The restore fixed it
 
Did a full restore with iOS 12 Beta 5, everything is working as smooth as before.
 
I've recently noticed Siri stopped working even via AirPods where she had been working fine pre ios12.
It's this a wait on another beta type resolution.
I don't have the motivation for any full delete+restore solution.
