Before proceeding, ensure your iPhone has at least 2GB of available storage space and is connected to a stable internet network to allow for proper app synchronization.
Update iOS System Software and Microsoft To Do
Running outdated versions of the app or iOS can cause severe compatibility issues resulting in crashes.

Open the 'App Store' and tap your profile icon at the top right. Scroll down to check for available updates. If Microsoft To Do is listed, tap 'Update'.
Offload the App to Clear Corrupted Cache Data
Offloading removes the app's core files while preserving your personal data, which clears out corrupted cache without losing tasks.
Check for Software Conflicts and Contact Support
If the issue persists or only affects one specific device, third-party apps or deep device settings may be interfering.
