1. Try Force Restarting Your iPhone

But you shouldn't worry since you should already have a backup on iCloud.

And by forcing your iPhone to restart, you'll turn off the phone no matter what the issue is. It's like killing your phone by unplugging the power cord, but in our case, you should simply press the following buttons:

年代tep 2.Now, immediately press and keep holding the power button.
