If the screen on the phone is not responding, try a forced restart. Your profile shows that you have an iPhone 12, but just in case, these instructions will explain how to force restart no matter what model you have.


  • 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.
