Force restart iPhone X and later, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus:

  1. Press and release the volume up button.
  2. Press and release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

It will not let you do that. The number will just keep flashing until you call it and hang up. (It will look like the phone has a virus.) You won’t be able to touch anything else on the screen until you call it. Even if you let your phone die, it doesn’t go away. If you try to force restart it, and keep doing it, it will try to call emergency. The only way is to go to the Apple store or call it and hang up then block the number. It’s a phishing phone number/ scam.
