Restart your iPhone to fix a number of common problems.
The first thing to try if your iPhone isn't working correctly is restarting it. Restarting your device can fix a number of common problems, including iCloud issues and apps that won't open.
Restarting your iPhone is a quick and easy way to solve many of the problems you might encounter with your device. If it's frozen or unresponsive, restarting can sometimes get things going again.
If you don’t know how to restart iPhone, try these steps:
First, have the latest version of iOS installed. To do that, go to settings and select General. Then click Software Update and follow the prompts from there.
Next, turn off your phone by holding down the power button until you see a slider to turn off or restart your phone (you may also need to hold it down at home). Once it is off, press and hold the power button again until you see “slide to power off” appear on the screen. Then slide your finger across the slider to turn off your phone completely.
Finally, press and hold both the sleep/wake button on top of your device and the volume down button for about 10 seconds until you see an Apple logo appear on the screen, followed by a spinning gear icon with an arrow pointing at it in the upper left corner of your screen. This indicates that your device has successfully restarted!

What happens after I restart my iPhone?
If your phone is frozen and unresponsive, rebooting will typically resolve this issue. However, if your phone has a hardware problem, rebooting may not solve it. If this happens, try restoring your device from a backup or iCloud.

Can I just hold the power button for a few seconds to restart my iPhone?
No. You need to press and hold the power button and one of these other buttons at the same time: the volume up/down button or the home button (the one on the front of the phone).

Why do I need to hold those buttons down?
Holding down those buttons allows you to tell your iPhone that you want to restart it right now. If you don't hold them long enough, your iPhone won't know what you mean by "restart."
