To force reset your iPhone without using the emergency SOS function, you can follow these steps. Please note that these instructions are specifically for iPhone models 8 and above, which include Face ID.
1. Quickly press and release the volume up button: Locate the volume up button on the side of your iPhone and press it quickly. Make sure to release it immediately after pressing.
2. Quickly press and release the volume down button: Next, locate the volume down button (also located on the side of your iPhone) and press it quickly. As with the previous step, release the button immediately after pressing.
3. Hold the Side button: Now, locate the Side button on your iPhone. This is the button used to power on/off your device. Press and hold the Side button until the screen goes black.
4. Release the Side button: Once the screen goes black, continue to hold the Side button. Only release the button when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. This indicates that the force reset process is complete.
It’s important to note that this method may vary slightly depending on the specific iPhone model you have. However, the general steps mentioned above should work for most iPhones released since the iPhone 8.
It’s always a good idea to perform a force reset if your iPhone is experiencing software issues, freezing, or unresponsiveness. However, keep in mind that a force reset should be used as a last resort, as it may not always solve the underlying problem. If you’re frequently encountering issues with your iPhone, it’s recommended to contact Apple support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.
Remember to back up your iPhone regularly to ensure your data is safe. This can be done through iCloud or by connecting your iPhone to a computer and using iTunes or Finder.
