iPhone 14 stuck on notification on locked screen, can't restart

M Iphone 14 is stuck on a notification to allow notifications, restart won't work because the notification is on top. I can get the slide to power off but the screen is frozen. I've tried quickly pushing volume up then volume down then side button and that doesn't work either.


iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

The first two presses of following sequence must be very quick:

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

If you have a protective case, remove it, and try the three-button sequence again.

If that fails, contact Apple Support directly, and discuss your options and alternatives.

Please follow the instructions:


  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.


Wait for the Apple logo to appear, while holding the button.
