Iphone 8 Home Screen Frozen

I woke up this morning to a frozen home screen on my iPhone 8 64 gb. The alarm went off like normal, and I could remove notifications from my lock screen, as well as swipe into the camera.


However when I unlocked my phone, I could not click on any of the app icons, with the mail icon greyed out like I had clicked it. I could open the control center, which worked like normal except that it wouldn't let me into the calculator or camera apps. I cannot swipe left to the notifications or right to the 2nd page


I tried force restarting, which didn't restart the phone. I held the down volume and power button for over a minute.


What can I do? Withforce restart not working do I have to wait for the battery to drain and then recharge?

iPhone 8, iOS 11

Force Restart on iPhone 8 (steps are different from previous models):

  • Quick-press the Volume Up button.
  • Quick-press the Volume Down button.
  • Press and hold the Side button for ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
