I am not sure what you meant by that you have tried "everything". I will recommend two things below and you may have tried them.


(1) Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF). 


(2) If the above does not work then - Open Control Center by SWIPING DOWN from the TOP RIGHT CORNER of the screen and then tap on FOCUS button to turn it OFF.
