Hi! If your iPhone seems to be unresponsive and cannot restart it, you can do a force restart by quickly pressing the volume up button, then quickly pressing the volume down button, and then press and hold the side (power) button. Do not release the side button until the Apple logo appears. This should work even if the device is unresponsive.
