But you don’t need to worry; the easiest solution in such a situation is to restart your iPhone XR. Let’s find out how to restart your iPhone XR in the simplest way possible.The iPhone has two types of restart systems: Soft Restart and Force Restart.
How To Restart iPhone XR -Types & Methods
Soft Restart
Soft restart is a very simple process to turn your device off and turn it on after a while. This stops all applications and re-launched them to fix the bug. A soft restart does not delete your phone’s data. This might be a good solution if your iPhone is not working properly. There are several methods to do so.
Method 1
Using AssistiveTouch is the easiest way to restart your iPhone XR. AssistiveTouch generally appears on the home screen. It needs to be enabled in the settings if it’s not enabled by default. Follow the process to enable it. In settings, first, select general, then select accessibility, and then select Assistive Touch and enable it. Go back to the home screen. Tap on AssistiveTouch, then tap the device, then tap more. You’ll find a restart option there. To restart, tap that and confirm. The phone will finish the restarting process automatically.
Method 2
You can do that in your settings. Find the general menu in the settings. At the very bottom, you will find the shutdown option. Once you tap on that, a slider will appear, then slide that right. This will turn off your phone. After that, press and hold your side button for a few seconds, and your phone will turn on. (Your iPhone XR’s right side has this button.)Problems will be resolved. But keep in mind that your iPhone must be unlocked for the soft restart system to work. If the iPhone XR’s unlock system does not work, try our next method.
Method 3
If your iPhone doesn’t respond to touch, you can restart manually. Press and hold the sound-up button and the side button together to do that. The slider option will appear. Turn the phone Off and On as before for restarting your phone. If your phone does not take a soft restart or the problem still exists after doing so, you need to force restart your iPhone. Let’s talk about that in detail.
Force Restart
Force-restart is the easiest way to fix a phone that freezes or won’t wake from the lock screen or respond to any commands. This method is also known as reboots or hard resets. A restarted iPhone returns to its original state. As a result, you may lose some of your data when you force restart your iPhone. For example, it will delete your user account, personal settings and passwords. Let’s find out how to restart your iPhone XR.
Method 1
First, press the volume up button, then press the volume down button. Lastly, press and hold down the side button for a while. Hold it until the phone turns off. The process takes about 10-15 seconds. Then the rebooting process will begin automatically. After the reboot, we will have to set up your user account. That is how you can successfully restart your iPhone XR.
