iPhone stuck on Home Critical Alerts

i had this situation happen on my iphone 12 pro last night. totally froze everything up. i tried to restart with pressing the volume up and volume down and then the side button to get the apple logo but no success. what can i try now??

Hey, I know this issue, it can be easily solved by force restarting your iPhone, Press volume up ( release immediately ) then down ( same way ). After this hold the side button until you see apple logo, this will fix the glitch. You can also see a detailed guide on this: How to Fix iPhone stuck on Home Critical Alerts for more info and detailed steps, however the force restart will do the trick for you. 

It does not work for the 15 pro.

nothing can be actioned. And the pop up does not go away.

pressing an holding the volume and side button only calls emergency.

please help.

Hi! It works for me. Just follow the steps below. DO NOT release the side button until the Apple logo appears.

1. Quick press and release volume up key
2. Quick press and release vol down key
3. Quick press and HOLD side key until you see the Apple icon, then release side key.

This just happened to my husbands phone, try this!!

quick press volume up

quick press volume down

then HOLD the lock screen button.

it should pop up on the screen to slide to power off. DONT LET GO OF LOCK BUTTON.

keep holding the lock screen button until your phone cuts off.

then power on. worked for us! super weird issue though!
