iPhone stuck pasting from Ipad

I was pasting an email link when my phone started to try to paste from my iPad when it was on recording a different app.


Even though I shut my iPad on/off and disabled handoff, my iPhone is still frozen. If I turn my phone on, the screen is a grey tone and it shows the “Pasting from iPad” bubble. I can’t interact with anything on the screen. If I try to hit cancel it will highlight like I hit it but won’t do anything. I can swipe down the control tap on the top tight but I can’t click any buttons, so I’m stuck on the Lock Screen.

Hi MaoMau,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. If your iPhone is frozen, we recommend force restarting to resolve it. This article has the steps: Force restart iPhone

"

  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.

An illustration of two iPhone models, one with a Home button and one without, with the screens facing up. The volume buttons for each model are on the left side of iPhone, and the side button is on the right.

Note: For force restart instructions for iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, or iPhone SE (1st generation)—models that don’t support iOS 16—see the iOS 15 version of this page.

Take care.
