Screen won’t let me slide

how can I fix my phone if it will not let me slide to open the Lock Screen or slide to shut down? I can touch buttons, but sliding doesn’t work

Try a forced restart and after the phone completely boots up, try the slider again.


  • iPhone 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
  • iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold both the Top (or Side) button and the Volume Down buttons until you see the Apple logo.
