I was trying to answer a FaceTime call but when I did. The call lasted for like 5 seconds every time, then it said “FaceTime failed” I tried again a lot then my friend texted me to turn off my phone then turn it back on, I turned it off then it appeared with a black screen with white Apple logo. It just stayed there. It didn’t shut off. Sometimes it had that screen then it shut off then turned back to the same screen. Help??
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand your iPhone is stuck during startup with the Apple logo appearing. The resource below provides some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won‘t turn on or is frozen
If your device turns on but gets stuck during start up
If you see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen during startup, try these steps:
- Connect your device to a computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, try to borrow one, or go to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.
- While your device is connected, force it to restart.
- On an iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery-mode screen.
- On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold the Side and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery-mode screen.
- On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery-mode screen.
- Don't release the buttons when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen.
- When you get the option to restore or update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
iTunes will download the software for your device. If it takes more than 15 minutes, your device will exit recovery mode and you'll need to repeat steps 2 and 3.
If you need more help
Contact Apple Support to set up service if you have any of these issues:
- You still see a black screen after charging, force restarting, or following the steps in this article.
- You see a black screen, but you can hear alerts, sounds, and vibrations.
- The screen remains black, but the device chirps when you unmute it and connect it to power.
- Your screen is on, but it doesn't respond when you tap, slide, or try other gestures.
- You can't force your device to restart because a button is broken or stuck.
- Your device is stuck on the Apple logo, displays a solid color, or isn't recognized in iTunes.
Take care.
