Hi jordin128,


If you can't restart your iPhone normally, try forcing it to restart.


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.


If it still won't restart, try it again pressing and releasing the volume up and down buttons a bit faster, then hold the side button for at least 30 seconds.


Should you still have issues, contact Apple Support for assistance.


Take care.
