There are several ways to restart an iPhone:
- Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button (also known as the power button) until the “Slide to power off” slider appears. Drag the slider to the right to turn off your iPhone. Then, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until the Apple logo appears to turn it back on.
- Go to the Settings app and tap “General,” then tap “Shut Down.” Drag the “Slide to power off” slider to the right to turn off your iPhone. Then, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until the Apple logo appears to turn it back on.
- If your iPhone is not responding or you can’t turn it off using the above methods, you may need to force a restart. To do this, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. When the Apple logo appears, release the buttons to turn your iPhone back on.
Note: If you have an iPhone X or newer, there is no Home button. To force a restart, press and release the volume up button, then press and release the volume down button, then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
