There are three ways to reboot an iPhone if it's acting peculiar (like slow and unresponsive): a restart (also called a soft reset), a forced reset (also called a hard reset), and a factory reset. If your device is freezing or malfunctioning, it's best to first try a hard reset , and if that doesn't work to resolve your glitch, then to try the factory reset , which restores your phone to factory default settings. Factory resets should only be used as a last resort since they result in losing data, settings, and any apps you have set up. You may want to take your iPhone into the Apple Store for a Genius Bar appointment before trying the factory reset, as it could result in permanent data loss.

    The steps for this vary depending on the model of the iPhone you have. [1]
    • For iPhone 6s, SE, or phone with a physical Home button , press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously. [2]

    Wait about 30 seconds before continuing to the next step.

    Press the top button (SE-1st Gen, 5 or earlier), or press the side button (SE-2nd Gen, 8,7,6) or press the right-side button (X, 11, 12, 13) until you see the Apple logo appear. [5]

    This will take anywhere from 15-60 seconds. [8]
    • Ignore the prompt to power off your phone. If you power off your phone, you are not performing the hard reset. To continue with the hard reset, keep holding the buttons down simultaneously.

    You have now completed the hard reset successfully.
    • Don't be alarmed that it takes quite a while to load from the Apple logo to the main screen. This is normal. [9]

    Since this process erases all the data and settings from your phone, you'll want a backup to ensure that you can get it back to normal. [10]
    • You can backup with iCloud, Finder (if you're using macOS Catalina or later), or iTunes (if you're using macOS Mojave or earlier, or Windows). [11]
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f2\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f2\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-9-Version-3.jpg\/aid2904823-v4-728px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-9-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    [12] You can do this by tapping the gear app icon.
  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/65\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/65\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-10.jpg\/aid2904823-v4-728px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    It's usually in the third grouping of options next to a gear icon. [13]
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/43\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-11.jpg\/v4-460px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-11.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/43\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-11.jpg\/aid2904823-v4-728px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-11.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    You'll find this at the bottom of the menu. [14]
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/41\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-12.jpg\/v4-460px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-12.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/41\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-12.jpg\/aid2904823-v4-728px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-12.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This second item in the menu will erase everything from your iPhone and restart it as a new phone. [15]
    • Tap Continue then enter your passcode. If Screen Time is enabled, you'll be prompted to enter your Screen Time passcode. Before your phone resets, it will try to make an iCloud backup if it's enabled.
    • Enter your Apple ID and password if prompted then tap Turn Off . You'll see this if you have Find My and Activation Lock enabled.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/fb\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-13.jpg\/v4-460px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-13.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/fb\/Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-13.jpg\/aid2904823-v4-728px-Reboot-an-iPhone-Step-13.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    [16] This option is in a menu that slides up from the bottom of your screen. You'll see a progress bar under an Apple logo that lets you know how your phone is progressing with restarting.
    • It's possible that an app or piece of data in your last backup is causing the glitch. If your phone is glitching again after restoring the backup, try restoring to an earlier backup. If you still experience problems, perform the factory reset but do not restore any backup, or consult an Apple Genius Bar employee.

    If an iPhone says no service, what could be the problem?
    Community Answer
    It may be that you're in a rural area far from any cell towers, there could be no SIM card in the phone, or you could have a SIM card in it that doesn't have active service from a provider.
