Glitching phone I tired to Facetime my friend with my iPhone 13 pro, and once he picked up, the screen was just a blurry home screen. I tried to get the FaceTime to change by hanging up and calling back, but that still didn't work. I closed all of my apps, and tried to restart the phone. Now, none of my apps are opening, and I can't get my phone to restart. I even tried force restarting it, but it only vibrated when I tried. What is causing this dilemma, and what should I do to fix it?

iphone 11 is acting werid hi, so yesterday i was on a facetime call i swiped up to check the time and then for some reason it kicked me out of the call but when i clicked on the facetime icon in the top corner it just showed me a gray screen. After that I couldn’t turn off my phone, I couldn’t restart it, and I couldn’t click on any apps. So my phone is pretty much unusable is there any way I can fix this?

iphone 11pro locked up after using Facetime I have a iphone 11 pro. I called my wife using facetime to have a visual conversation but She picked up using her cars steering wheel controls so there was only an audible conversation then she hung up. since that time I cant open any apps on the screen, use the RHS button, cant reboot. I can delete apps and appears I can open facetime but screen is cloudy grey (as if its opened but nothing on screen) deleted FT and FB but still no operation of the screen apps or the RHS button? Any suggestions ? I want to avoid doing a hard reboot if possible. Regards Branxton3

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).
