iphone frozen and won't turn off (beeping siren sound)

hi i was trying to open my safari when my phone froze and there was black screen (though there is still the time and battery shown). i tried exiting out of the app but nothing. when i want to turn it off just normally i can but to turn it off completely or force restart it, I can't do it at all. I tried multiple times but either nothing happens or there is this sudden siren beep sound from my phone. what do i do?

iPhone X, iOS 15

(1) 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). 


(2)  If the above does not work then - Follow the instructions in this article by Apple ➔ If your iPhone is Non-Responsive or Frozen and see if that helps.
