iPhone 16 Plus apps not working and phone keeps restarting

iPhone 16 Plus I have a problem: my phone keeps restarting on its own. Some apps don't work when I tap them, and then they work the next time. Other apps don't work at all, and the phone keeps restarting. What should I do?

Force your iPhone to restart:

  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 until you see the Apple logo (this might take longer than 10 seconds).


If that was too difficult, then simply ask Siri: "Restart".
