Okay, here is the steps I followed, and it happens to me every time on my iPhone for S. Number one search for place or get one from my places. Number to simulate the location. Number three I think it will do this also if you do tracking. Number four press the home key again, and go to the app switcher. Five try to edit the apps with double tap and hold using voice over. I have no idea what you do if you're not using voice over. I have had to restart the phone before to make the app switcher behave properly after this. Regards, GG
