Hey guys, putting an iPhone in recovery mode is useful for troubleshooting various issues, especially when the device is stuck or not responding properly. Here's how you can do it:


Connect your iPhone to the computer: Use a Lightning cable to connect your iPhone to Mac or PC with iTunes or Finder installed.


Then you can put your iPhone in recovery mode:

For iPhone 8 or later models:

Press and release the Volume Up button.

Press and release the Volume Down button.

Press and hold the power button until you see the recovery mode screen.

For iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:

Press and hold the Volume Down button and the power button simultaneously.

Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.

For iPhone 6s and earlier models:

Press and hold the Home button and the power button simultaneously.

Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.

This will put the iPhone in recovery mode.


Once your iPhone is in recovery mode, you'll see a prompt in iTunes or Finder asking if you want to Restore or Update your iPhone. Keep in mind that putting your iPhone in recovery mode and restoring it will erase all data on the device, so make sure to back up your data if possible.
