Lock Screen Out of Place:

A. Force Restart your iPhone:

What happens when you perform a Force Restart? See if that fixes this: Force Restart iPhone - Apple Support


B. Update with a Computer:

iOS 26.2 is the latest released version of the iOS. So, if that is not installed, try updating, this time using a computer. Use my User Tip: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip


C. Clear the Caches:

Caches are created for remembrance of usage, and easy of operability, when it comes to apps --Settings in this case. So, see if clearing your System Data fixes this. The gather over time, often at a quick pace. Use my User Tip: How to Clear "System Data" in your iPhone's Storage: - User Tip

Use Quick Start:

If you can get in, then reset this to Factory Settings, then transfer it all back using Quick Start. It is the data that would be transferred --not the iOS.

  1. Take Screenshots: of your iPhone screen for reference, if need be
  2. Back Up: your iPhone to a computer (Mac or PC)
  3. Factory Reset: your iPhone
  4. Use QuickStart: to transfer the data
