Regular Restart
- Press and hold the Side button and either the Volume Up or Volume Down button simultaneously.
- When the power off slider appears, drag the slider to turn off your iPhone.
- Wait for your iPhone to completely shut down (usually takes a few seconds).
- To turn it back on, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
Force Restart
If your iPhone is unresponsive or frozen, you can perform a force restart:
- Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
- Quickly press and release the Volume Down button.
- Press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo, then release.
