    It worked for me. Thanks!

    Would u mind explaining it plz !??

    Quickly pressing the volume up button only takes a screen capture! It doesn’t help force restarting your iPhone. Anddoing the same with volume down button does nothing. The others are right, it doesn’t work!

    chrispatch43 - Contestar

    It does work, press the volume up first, then volume down, and hold the side button, it will go dark and in about 10 seconds the logo will appear

    Not only did it not work but if that’s actually the way to do it then it’s incredibly stupid, it’s so easy to mess up and have to repeat 50 times before it works. It was so much easier when iPhones had d-a-m-n home button…

    Beim iPhone 11 muss man die beiden Tasten (1) und (2) gleichzeitig und etwas länger drücken!

    • Finally, press and hold the side button (3) until the Apple logo appears, and then release.

    • The screen will temporarily go dark as the iPhone shuts down and reboots. Keep holding the button until you see the logo.

    GREAT advice, I was able to get my phone working right away! Appreciate your instructions.

    mrskimberlymoore - Contestar

    I tried it & it does not work at all.

    R4zzle - Contestar

    I tried it several times and it didn't work. What next?

    My husband and I both just got new iphone11s & he has had to do this twice in 6 days. Both times the screen froze on the control center. We are used to Android's so the first night he tried resetting by holding down volume up and power, and it dialed 911. He could talk to dispatcher but couldn't unfreeze the screen. First time he had it charging on his Samsung's wireless charger and woke up to find it frozen, second time he was trying to go “back” while using it in the rain.

    This did work both times to get it up and running. Just strange it hasn't happened to me once, but him twice in the first week.

    Susanna Brooke - Contestar

    Fabulous. Many thanks. Up and running again x

    dawnb63 - Contestar

    mine is freezing on apps and the side Botton randomly stops working and I have tried taking out my SIM card to reset that but nothing .

    Bethany Robinson - Contestar

    Mine is frozen and the up/down button didn’t make a difference, it doesn’t work. I’ve loved IPhones since 4 but this 11 model is so bad, I’m probably going to switch.

    Lesley Lupo - Contestar

    This does’nt work

    Aaliyah - Contestar

    Thank you so much for your help

    Anita Kami - Contestar

    Joe Cook - Contestar

    Inzentive Media - Contestar

i’d like to know why my phone needs to reboot though? I’ve had it for like 2 weeks and it freezes sometimes and this should not be happening? What triggers this to happen?

yeidi - Contestar

Same problem with my iPhone 11. 2x this week!

Rudy Albrecht - Contestar

My phone will not responding to anything and it won’t force restart either it’s completely frozen

wolfvogel195 - Contestar

My phone is doing the same thing, did you find a solution?

Johnnie Dickens -

Mine also won’t respond to anything and won’t restart - did anyone find another way?

Mel -

this is my problem to. I would like an answer I don’t get it!

•Cadence the Sloth• -

When I’m on a telephone call I cannot put my speaker phone on. There is no icon to turn on speakerphone. But when I put the speakerphone on before the call I can’t turn it off during the call, everybody hears my call.

jcornejo365 - Contestar

This solution worked for me. My phone was stuck on the loading circle. The key is to quickly press the up, then down volume button in succession (don’t hold them) and then hold the power button until you see the apple logo. Thanks @yvaneck

Rus Cordova - Contestar

Ya ! Thanks for the key , it did work :)

Divya R -

thank you! it did work, finally! the key was-’’ (DONT HOLD THEM)’’ !

marinaperrott25 -

That was it. Needed to do the sequence quickly. Thanks

Bradley E -

Anyone have any tips for when the Up/Down/Side Button process does NOT work?

I’ve had the phone for a week and it’s just not working now and this process does not work.

Matt Peloquin - Contestar

Correction to the Instruction above

(can’t believe Apple doesn’t correct it):

1. Press once and release volume up button,

2. then press once and release volume down button,

3. then hold the Side button till apple logo appears.

Andi amHappy -

I don't know if this will help. I rang Apple and they told me to use iTunes to restore, if on Windows computer and you are using the app, uninstall this. Then download the full version direct from Apple's website. It worked for me…the app get bringing up an error message.

Paul Taberner - Contestar

My iPhone 11, latest software and it has a circle of lines Spiraling in a circle clockwise I can’t hard restart it it’s just burning up the battery I guess the only way to restart it is to let it die .

Rickey Amar - Contestar

I put mine in the fridge couple hours… did not changed anything

Melanie Synnott -

It worked for me! Thanks!

rnavedojr - Contestar

This doesn’t work for me. When I follow the stated directions it goes to a black screen asking if I want to power down (completely). No Apple logo. No restart.

Kaste427 - Contestar

Same here. Mine only either lets me call emergency services or just slide to power off.

R4zzle -

You have keep holding the power button in for about another 10 to 15 seconds after the “slide to shutdown” screen appears. Then it will go black. KEEP holding the button down until the Apple logo appears! (Another 5 to 10 seconds). Patience!

Ashley Riddell -

Try Settings >General >Reset settings

kkalin - Contestar

try Settings >General >Reset >Reset all settings

kkalin - Contestar

This will erase the entire phone. Please don’t do this unless you actually want to reset your phone.

Donald Fournier -

That is an easy fix. While there is no icon, you can touch the hide button that is on the phone while making a call,

and the speaker icon automatically shows up. That it. Good luck

Betty Peterson - Contestar

My phone just went frozen and i can get it to unfreeze from the apple logo… im at day 2 and its still doo g that freeze thing and verizon said i have to order a new phone but i cant even get the personal info to get a my stuff i needed in the phone.

hill_london - Contestar

Genius! Nothing else worked - thanks for the tip!

Kerry Jarman - Contestar

Don’t do this. I did it and my iPhone 11 did an emergency SOS, it was not fun.

Almond Milk - Contestar

VPN on iphone 11 causing quite a few issues would suggest closing that for a start if it is selected on your phone.

george gibson - Contestar

I downloaded iOS 14 on my iPhone 11 and now i can't open any apps and can’t force restart my phone

Any suggestions?

Andrea Skoulariotis - Contestar

I had the same issue but you must accept the risks when using prerelease software. report the bug on feedback.apple.com and make a backup bofore using the software next time. you may be able to restart using finder or iTunes (iTunes = pre catalina, Finder = catalina+) I was able to restart using this method.

Ari R -

thank you for this tutorial.

yousif - Contestar

my touchscreen isn’t working so i can swipe the slide to power off. Is there another way to shut down my phone?

Colin Park - Contestar

Same with mine too. I tried the iPhone reset routine-press the Vol-up button, then the Vol down button and then held on to the reset button. My phone does restarts int the Siri mode and do not take any inputs made through key board. Unni

Unnikrishnan Nair -

Mines also anyone find a solution

Tj Been That Nigga - Contestar

If these steps aren’t working for you, it’s because Step 1 is incorrect. You don’t double tap. It’s 1 up, 1 down then hold side key until you see Apple logo appear.

Hit Hit - Contestar

Daniya Qayyum - Contestar

Thank you! I never comment on things like this but my phone literally WOULD NOT RESTART and I was beginning to get upset. Literally these three steps saved my night!

Ciara Stewart - Contestar

worked for me too. cheeers guys

Santosh Thapa - Contestar

This method for a hard reboot always works, only IF carried out as instructed! The key is to be patient. Once you hold down the power button, it will take an unsettling amount of time to get to the Apple logo, including an interim screen that offers you “Slide to shutdown” which you must ignore and keep holding down, then a black screen that will take another 10 seconds or so before the logo appears.

In other words; hold down the power button and keep it held down until the logo appears!

Ashley Riddell - Contestar

The logo is always on… Whatever I try it won’t work

Melanie Synnott - Contestar

My would not either and when I tried it sounded some kind of siren sound. but after about 5 minutes it suddenly started working again.?? Don’t know what this all means?

C Gotcher - Contestar

iPhone 11. Did the reset with volume up then down then the reset button till the apple logo and still frozen. Did this at all different speeds and still froze on Home Screen

Marty crul - Contestar

You may have a bigger problem than just needing a reset. Go to the Apple Store.

Donald Fournier -

Iphone11 qu’ont je ferais la mise à jour il s’éteint puis ne démarre pas pourquoi

naçer diaspora - Contestar

Thank You for this guide, I was at work today and drop the phone a very small distance (could not have been more than two feet, and I drop this phone more than a dozen times before to no damage) and the phone went dark and became unresponsive, it stressed me out for the rest of the work day due to how anxious I can become. As soon as I come home I was prepared to open up the phone with my Moray Driver Kit, and I when I was on the page for the phone that I saw the force restart option and decided to try it out. I was thinking it could not have been so easy (I though the drop might have loosen the display or battery ribbon cable) but lo-and-behold it boot up. I learn a very useful tip for iPhone today thanks to you guys.

An Bui - Contestar

To all the people that experienced Problems but they’re iPhone 11 and commented on here. I have a question for you are did it happen to happen shortly after a iOS update?

Bruce - Contestar
