![]() You’re not going to break anything by doing this, especially not an iPhone that’s already in need of a forced restart. You may need to try all of the techniques below. Once connected, you have to perform one of three procedures to enter Recovery Mode. You can always check the Find My app on, or you can check your Mac or iPad (under “Devices”) to see which model you have. To put your iPhone into Recovery Mode, connect your iPhone to the Mac or PC, and open Finder or iTunes. Unfortunately, checking your model in the Settings app is usually impossible when your iPhone has become unresponsive. Note: The methods below depend on knowing which iPhone model you have. You should do this whenever your iPhone is completely unresponsive to input, in circumstances when the screen has frozen, or where the standard restart or shut down instructions have failed. Rather than waiting for it to run out of battery, you can force a restart to get things working again. If your iPhone is no longer responding, it may have crashed completely.

If nothing happens, make sure your iPhone has enough battery by connecting it to a power adapter. Wait for your iPhone to fully power down, then press and hold the Side (or top) button to start it up. Some much older models may only have a button on the top of the device. If your iPhone has a Home button beneath the screen (including both Touch ID and non-Touch ID models), press and hold the Side button, then swipe the “Slide to Power Off” slider to the right. For this to work, you’ll need to have some method of talking to Siri enabled under Settings > Siri & Search. To do this, tell Siri “restart my iPhone” and tap “Yes” in the confirmation that appears on the screen. Your smartphone will take care of the rest (no need to press or hold any buttons). This is the best way to restart your iPhone since you only need to issue a voice command and confirm it. If your iPhone is running iOS 16 or later, you can restart using Siri. Most users only end up restarting their devices due to software updates or when they’re running out of battery. There’s no need to restart your iPhone regularly or just because you haven’t done so in a while. Some issues with these apps may resolve, but you might want to dig a little deeper into the problem and try deleting and reinstalling any misbehaving apps. If the problem seems related to a third-party app (for example, Facebook), the problem may persist even after a restart. It may also be worth a shot if you have persistent Wi-Fi or Bluetooth issues. ![]() You should first try toggling Airplane Mode on and off to reset the connection between your iPhone and your carrier, but if that doesn’t work, try restarting instead. Some connectivity issues can be resolved with a restart too, particularly unresponsive cellular services.
