Hello Kiran123467,


When the iPhone stops responding and restarts unexpectedly, do you happen to see an Apple logo or a spinning gear? If so, then you'd need to take these steps to attempt to resolve it: If your iOS or iPadOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly - Apple Support


If your iOS or iPadOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly 

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch unexpectedly restarts or shuts down, or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear, learn what to do.

Check your software

Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS and that your apps are up to date. If the issue continues after updating your software and apps, check your hardware.

Check your hardware

On an iPhone 6 or later, check your battery health under Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
If your battery doesn't need service, and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch continues to frequently restart or turn off, contact Apple Support.

If your apps quit unexpectedly, learn what to do.

If your device has a frozen screen, doesn't respond, or becomes stuck when you turn it on, learn what to do for iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch.


If you don't see either the Apple logo or spinning gear, then you'd need to follow the above steps that are underlined.


Do you have enough available iPhone storage? You can check with the following steps:


  1. Go to the Settings app
  2. Tap on General
  3. Tap on iPhone Storage


If needed, use the following to create additional iPhone storage: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support


Hoping to hear how it goes, take care.
