iPhone doing weird things when it’s being turned off

Hello, I’m not sure what is going on with my phone but sometimes when I try to shut it off completely to restart it, it glitches. Recently it’s been flashing the lock screen on and off and vibrating and then a quick siren goes off.. I’m not sure how else to explain this but it’s really weird. Just for some background, I have an iPhone X and it is updated to iOS.14

iPhone X, iOS 14

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
