Iphone unavailable

My Moms phone says Iphone unavailable and it will only let her make emergency calls.

She said that she doesn't know why this happened. Is there anything that I can do to fix this?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

I understand that the iPhone is in the status of "Unavailable". You will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉 Reset the Passcode of your iPhone (Without a Computer).  Note: All the data on your iPhone will be erased.


Hopefully, you have a backup created on 👉 iCloud and/or on a computer. If you do then, you can 👉 Restore your iPhone from the backup file once your passcode has been reset and the iPhone has been returned to factory settings by the procedure in the link above.
