First, identify the model of your iPhone and then follow the appropriate restart method.
iPhone with Face ID
iPhone X, XS, XR, iPhone 11, 12, and 13 feature Face ID. They can be force restarted by the following steps;
- Locate the Volume button on the left side of your iPhone. Press the ‘Volume Up’ button and release it quickly.
- Now, press and quickly release the ‘Volume Down’ button.
- Next, press and hold the ‘Side/Power’ button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
iPhone 8 or SE (2nd Generation and Later)
