Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My iPhone XR is stuck in guided access. Triple clicking and rapidly clicking volume and right button don’t work. Letting it sit for 20 minutes didn’t work. Help.

How do I get out of guided access? The steps I’ve tried didn’t work.

  1. Triple click right button
  2. Let it sit for 20 minutes
  3. Quickly click vol up, then same to vol down, then hold right button until Apple appears.

iPhone XR, iOS 16
