Force Restarting an iPhone works as a quick fix for many iOS issues. If your device won’t boot up, or if you’re experiencing a system-level bug, before rushing to the Genius Bar, see if a force restart will fix the issue.
Now and then, your iPhone might suffer some form of a software glitch. It can be an iOS update gone wrong, a rogue app, or just an iOS bug that won’t go away.
How to Force Restart an iPhone
- An iPhone without a physical home button has a new process for force restarting it. If you’re using an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus (which have a capacitive Home button), or the latest iPhones that don’t have a Home button at all (iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR), follow the steps below to force restart your handset.
- First, press and release the “Volume Up” button. Then, press and release the “Volume Down” button. Finally, press and hold the “Side” button until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. It can take up to 30 seconds for the logo to show up.
- Once the logo pops up, you can let go of the Side button. Your iPhone will now finish the rebooting process.
