Hi there! I understand that the Detroit Free Press app on your iPhone is showing only a black screen when you try to open it. Let's work through this together to get it fixed.

To start, can I ask if you've tried closing the app completely and reopening it? Sometimes the app might get stuck and a fresh start helps. To do this on your iPhone iOS 18.6: swipe up from the bottom (or double-click the Home button if your iPhone has one), find the Detroit Free Press app in the app switcher, and swipe it up to close it. Then, tap on the app icon again to open it.

If that doesn't help, let's try a few more steps:

1. Restart your iPhone: Press and hold the power button, then slide to power off. After it's off, press the power button again to turn it back on. This refreshes the system and can fix small glitches.

2. Check for App Updates: Open the App Store, tap your profile icon in the top right, scroll down to see pending updates, and update the Detroit Free Press app if it's listed. Updates often fix bugs causing black screens.

3. Reinstall the App: If the problem persists, uninstall the app by pressing its icon until it jiggles, then tap the “X” or “Remove App.” Afterward, reinstall it from the App Store.

4. Check Internet Connection: Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi or cellular connection since the app needs to load content online.

If you’ve tried any of these or if the black screen appears right after opening with no chance to do anything, please let me know. Also, do you see any error messages or does the app just stay black?

We can dig a bit deeper based on what you tell me next!
