What is what to do when iphone screen freezes?

If your iPhone screen freezes, here's what you can try:

• Force Restart: This is often the first and most effective solution. The process varies depending on your iPhone model:

  • iPhone 8 and later (including iPhone SE 2nd & 3rd generation): Press and quickly release the volume up button. Press and quickly release the volume down button. Press and hold the side button (power button) until you see the Apple logo.
  • iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: Press and hold both the side button (power button) and the volume down button until you see the Apple logo.
  • iPhone 6s and earlier (including iPhone SE 1st generation): Press and hold both the home button and the side button (power button) until you see the Apple logo.

• Check for Updates: Sometimes, outdated software can cause freezing. Connect your iPhone to a computer and use Finder (on macOS Catalina and later) or iTunes (on older macOS versions and Windows) to check for and install any available updates. Make sure to back up your device before updating. You can read more about it from software%20updates.

• Free Up Storage: A full storage can cause performance issues, including freezing. Delete unnecessary apps, photos, videos, and other files. You can see your storage usage in Settings > General > iPhone Storage. You can read more about it from free%20up%20storage.

• Close Background Apps: Too many apps running in the background can strain your iPhone's resources. Double-click the home button (or swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold on iPhones without a home button) to see the app switcher. Swipe up on apps to close them. You can read more about it from close%20background%20apps.

• Reset All Settings: This will reset all your settings to their defaults, but it won't erase your data. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings.

• Restore from Backup: If the issue persists, you can try restoring your iPhone from a backup. Connect your iPhone to a computer and use Finder (on macOS Catalina and later) or iTunes (on older macOS versions and Windows) to restore from a previous backup. You can read more about it from restore%20from%20backup.

• Factory Reset (Erase All Content and Settings): This is a last resort, as it will erase all data on your iPhone. Back up your device first if possible. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings. You can read more about it from factory%20reset.

• Hardware Issues: If none of the above solutions work, the freezing may be due to a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or take your iPhone to an authorized service provider for repair.
