How to Force Restart an iPhone

If your iPhone is frozen or unresponsive, you can force restart it to shut it down and turn it back on. This can resolve many software issues and get your iPhone working properly again.

**Here are the steps on how to force restart an iPhone:**


1. For iPhone 8 and later: Press and release the Volume Up button. Then press and release the Volume Down button. Finally, press and hold the Side button. Keep holding the Side button until you see the Apple logo.


2. For iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold both the Volume Down button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. Keep holding both buttons until you see the Apple logo.


3. For iPhone 6s and earlier: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. Keep holding both buttons until you see the Apple logo.

Once you see the Apple logo, your iPhone will restart. This may take a few minutes.

**Here are some additional tips for force restarting an iPhone:**
