Hey there Bananarepublic73,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


It sounds like your iPhone is pretty well and stuck on that screen but we have a good idea of how to resolve this. The process we're going to recommend is called a "force restart" and more often than not, resolves exactly this type of issue. The steps are pretty straight forward and you can find them right here: Force restart iPhone


We've also copy and pasted them below to make it easy:


Force restart iPhone

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.

An illustration of two iPhone models, one with a Home button and one without, with the screens facing up. The volume buttons for each model are on the left side of iPhone, and the side button is on the right.


We hope this does the trick for you!


Cheers.
