app frozen on screen when accessing iphone

I have an iPhone XR. When I swipe up to log into phone, Twitter app is frozen on the screen. I can't switch the device off. I can't access any other app. I can't close Twitter. I can't do anything, except lock the phone and unlock it.


Other than waiting for battery to die, at which point device will have to reboot, has anyone got any bright ideas?

iPhone XR, iOS 13

If you encounter this problem, you should be able to force reboot your device by following these steps:


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


This should reboot your device so that you don't have to let it's battery drain when a problem occurs.
