Force restart your 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.



The procedure is a bit tricky the first few times you try it. Don't hesitate to repeat it.
