My iPhone is stuck on the:


Software update


Your iPhone has been updated to iOS 16.6.1


OK



If I select OK it will not go away. I have tried everything to get it away, but i can’t select anything no the screen. I can make a screenshot and put it on sleepmode. But i can’t fully turn it of.


Is there anyone that knows what to do?

Hello,

See this:

  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 until you see the Apple logo (could be as long as 30 seconds) 

The timing is a little critical, you may have to try it several times. See this for more detail:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won‘t turn on or is frozen

Good luck.
