How To Restart My iPhone?

[Penny]

Actually, I want to restart my iPhone, but I'm unsure of the exact procedure. I understand that model variations (for example, iPhone 11, 12, 13, etc.) require different button combinations, and I want to avoid making a mistake. Could anyone please tell me how to correctly restart an iPhone, and if the steps are different for the older models with a Home button?

I've found that the simplest way to restart my iPhone is by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button on the top right side until the "Slide to Power Off" option appears, then slide it to the right to shut down, and wait a few seconds before pressing the sleep/wake button again to turn it back on. This works for most iPhone models, including the latest ones, and it's a quick and easy way to troubleshoot any software issues.

I had the same issue a few days ago, I restarted my iPhone by holding down the sleep/wake button and the volume down button at the same time, this will initiate a force restart. If that doesn't work you can try holding down the sleep/wake button until the apple logo appears, this is the normal way to restart your iPhone.

Press and hold the side button + volume button until the power slider appears, then slide to turn off; after it shuts down, hold the side button again to restart.
