Why can't I shut down or sign out of my iPhone 11?

First I noticed my phone has yesterday's weather report. The I tried to shut it down but the screen seemed frozen. I then I open in the Settings and tried to sign out and that did not respond. Then I tapped the "Name, Phone Number, Email" button and then continues to buffer.

I have received phone calls and text messages yesterday and was able to send the same out.

Has someone hacked my phone???

Two basic troubleshooting steps to perform (test after each attempt):


A) Try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions: Put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures:

In rapid sequence, press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).


B) If you can, check your battery status in Settings>Battery>Battery Health & Charging>Maximum capacity. If it is close to 83-80%, have it replaced as soon as possible, since it might have unpredictable behavior.


If the issue still persists, I suggest that you make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
