Hi! I’m Daniel. I see you’re having trouble with the Lyra app not opening on your iPhone running iOS 17.6.1. Let’s get that sorted out.

To start, can you tell me a bit more? For example:
- When you tap the app icon, does anything happen? Or does it just stay there?
- Did the app previously work and just recently stop?
- Have you tried force closing the app or restarting your phone already?

Meanwhile, here’s a straightforward set of steps we can try to fix apps that won’t open on iPhones:

1. Force Close the Lyra app:
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold (or double press the Home button if your iPhone has one) to open the app switcher.
- Find the Lyra app and swipe it up off the screen to close it completely.
- Then tap the app icon again to open it.

2. Restart your iPhone:
- Press and hold the side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears.
- Slide to power off, wait 30 seconds, then power it back on by pressing the side button.

3. Check for App Updates:
- Open the App Store, tap your profile icon on top right, and scroll to see if there’s an update available for Lyra.
- Update it if there is.

4. Reinstall Lyra:
- Press and hold the Lyra app icon, then tap “Remove App” and “Delete App” to uninstall it.
- Restart your iPhone once more.
- Go back to the App Store and download Lyra again.

Since you’re on iOS 17.6.1, which is relatively recent, compatibility shouldn’t be a problem unless the app needs an update.

If none of these work, there might be a specific issue with the app’s data or a back-end problem, in which case I can help you check Lyra’s support FAQ or known outages.

Could you try these steps and let me know how it goes? If you’ve already done any of these, just tell me so we can move to advanced troubleshooting.

I tried everything, when I open I have the black screen with the lyra sign on

Thanks for letting me know you're stuck on the black screen with just the Lyra logo showing after you open the app. Since you've already done the basic fixes like restarting and reinstalling, let's look at a few possibilities that could cause this specific issue on iOS 17.6.1.

Here’s what I suggest next:

1. Check Network Connection:
Sometimes the app loads data from the internet on launch, and a spotty network can cause it to freeze on the loading screen. Please test with Wi-Fi and cellular data, or even try toggling Airplane mode on and off before launching again.

2. Reset App Permissions and Clear Cache:
iOS doesn’t give much direct cache control, but you can try resetting the app's permissions:
- Go to Settings > scroll down to Lyra > toggle off and then on any permissions like Cellular Data, Background App Refresh, etc.
- Then try opening the app again.

3. Force Close and Restart the App with iOS Storage Reset:
Since a reinstall didn’t help, you can also try this:
- Open Settings > General > iPhone Storage > find Lyra in the list.
- Tap it and see the option to “Offload App” (this removes app but keeps data). Try offloading, then reinstall from App Store, launch and see if it resolves the issue.

4. Look for iOS Display Settings Conflicts:
Sometimes display-related settings can impact graphics rendering. Check if you have any settings like Dark Mode, Accessibility Display (Increase Contrast, Reduce Transparency) turned on or off, and toggle to see if it makes a difference.

5. Check if Lyra is Facing an Outage or Known Issue:
Because it’s showing the sign but not progressing, it could be a back-end or server issue affecting loading. You might want to visit Lyra’s support page or reach out to their hotline (open weekdays from 9 am to 6 pm) to confirm there are no ongoing issues on their end7.

If none of these work, could you also tell me:
- Does the app stay stuck indefinitely or eventually show any error?
- Is any sound or partial content loading, or is it fully frozen on the logo?

That would help narrow things down further. Let me know how these steps go!
