My phone is frozen on the "find my iphone alert" I lost my phone and after using the noise option for find my iphone, the alert will not go away. It is frozen on my screen. The screen is not working besides on the "okay" of the alert, but the alert will not go away. I cannot restart/power down the phone cause I am unable to slide the power off switch. I cannot get into my phone because it requires me to enter my password and the screen isn't letting me select anything on the screen. It will not register on itunes when I plugged it into my computer without me unlocking the phone. Please help.

Find My iphone Alert is stuck on the screen "Find My iphone Alert" is stuck on and the "OK" response is unresponsive, I am unable to turn my phone off or get past this alert although I can see all notifications behind it. Is there any way to clear this? (iphone XS max)

"Home" app critical alert message froze phone My boyfriends iPhone 14, he accidentally opened the home app and it froze the phone saying critical alert would like to send you critical alerts. He can't do anything with his phone and he tried the volume up and down and holding down the lock button and when he does it stays on the swipe to turn off screen and does not turn off completely and go to the apple logo like its supposed to. He tried it again and it dialled 911. The only option I can think off is waiting till it dies then plugging it in to charge, but he's worried it won't turn on when he plugs it in.
