How to fix iPhone stuck in switch control?

I can't leave Switch Control even after pressing the side button 3 times. I'm using Iphone X (ios 16.7.10). It seems many other people using other Iphone models like Iphone 11 have the same problem. Sorry for my bad English.

Thank you for trying ... sorry that hasn't helped.

Hi Sm1l3M4sk

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community,


Re: "Can’t leave Switch Control"


To Turn Switch Control on / off: Go to Settings > General> Accessibility > Switch Control.


Tip: You can add Switch Control to Accessibility Shortcut, then quickly turn it on or off by triple-clicking the side button (on an iPhone with Face ID) or the Home button (on other iPhone models)


Above tip is from: Set up and turn on Switch Control on iPhone - Apple Support

So you don't know whether the battery is the original or has been replaced with a nongenuine iPhone battery. ...Here's what Apple says:


"Using nongenuine batteries might also result in unexpected behavior after installation, device software updates, or while charging." Source:

But I was asking about the battery in your iPhone X (iOS 16.7.10). So again:


Does your iPhone X still have its original battery?


And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...


Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging


...If its value is only "––", let us know that.

I know you want to say that the bug may be due to the battery, but I can confirm that the performance and battery of the device are still good, I tested it in a cool environment. Why don't you try following the instructions in the following video to experience this bug (read the video description): https://youtu.be/O3JJ7nU-r6k?si=pBCEBI_Ph_5BUFfV
