iPhone 11 has a number on the screen with call or cancel but when I cancel it comes back

My iPhone 11 has a phone number on the screen with call or cancel underneath it but every time I go to cancel it just comes back, or if I press call it does the same thing. It won’t let me turn the phone off or restart, it just won’t let me do anything. Can someone please help me?

What happens when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen?


Most likely you are seeing a scam web page, and the cancel button is actually a lie; it just refreshes the page. If you can't exit as I described above do the following:


  • Press and quickly release VOLUME UP
  • Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN
  • Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds)


Then go to Settings/Safari and tap Clear History & Website Data
