Disclaimer: The steps provided below are applicable to most iPhone models and iOS versions. However, there may be slight variations in the button combinations or settings depending on your specific device or iOS version. Note that rebooting your iPhone can also be done by turning your iPhone on and off.
Step 1: Locate the Power Button
Locate the power button on your iPhone. On most models, it is located on the right side of the device. However, on older models like the iPhone SE or iPhone 5s, it is located on the top-right corner.

Once the “Slide to Power Off” slider appears, swipe it from left to right to power off your iPhone. This will initiate the shutdown process.

Wait for a few seconds as your iPhone shuts down completely. You will see a blank screen, indicating that the device is powered off.
Step 5: Press and Hold the Power Button Again
After your iPhone has powered off, press and hold the power button again. Keep holding it until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. This indicates that your iPhone is rebooting.
Step 6: Release the Power Button
Once the Apple logo appears, release the power button. Your iPhone will continue to boot up, and you will see the lock screen or home screen shortly.
If you’re looking for more than a reboot, consider doing an iPhone factory reset!
