Is your phone having a funny 5 minutes? A soft reset is the simplest way to give your iPhone a good old-fashioned on and off again, and we’ve got the steps to assist!
To soft reset your 2017 and later iPhone*, press and release the volume up button on the left side of your device, closest to the top of your device.
- Next, press and release the volume down button on the left side of your device, below the first button that you had pressed.
