To restart your Apple device (iPhone), follow these steps:
Restarting Your iPhone
Here's how to restart your iPhone, which is a common troubleshooting step:
- Initiate the Shutdown: Press and hold either the volume up or volume down button and the side button simultaneously until the power-off slider appears on the screen.
- Power Off: Drag the slider to the right to turn off your iPhone. Wait approximately 30 seconds for it to completely shut down.
- Power On: After 30 seconds, press and hold the side button (located on the right side of your iPhone) until the Apple logo appears on the screen. This indicates that your iPhone is restarting.
This process applies to iPhones with Face ID (iPhone X and later models). For older iPhone models (with a Home button), you typically press and hold the top or side button until the power-off slider appears.
Restarting your Apple device is a simple way to resolve many common software glitches and improve performance.
