iPhone 12 Lock Screen frozen/unresponsive

Has anyone had any troubles with only their Lock Screen freezing? I am using my phone normally except for the Lock Screen which is stuck/frozen. I can’t clear notifications or read the clock clearly because the lock icon is stuck on top of the clock. The time is changing but I can’t use anything on the Lock Screen. I was able to get back into my phone using the utilities control screen.

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).
