Turning off your iPhone isn’t always easy, especially if it’s frozen or not working. In the following guide, we’ll show you all the effective ways to turn off your iPhone. These methods are different and once we learn all of them, even if the iPhone is locked or we find something wrong (such as the shutdown button is broken or stuck). Let’s have a look!
Turn off iPhone using hardware buttons
The easiest and most direct way to shut down your iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, or iPhone 12 is to press and hold the volume up key and the side button for 5 seconds, then turn it from the left as soon as the shutdown slide appears . Start the classic shutdown procedure on the right (works in any case where the iPhone is working properly).
If we have iPhone versions older than iPhone X (eg iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, etc.), classic shutdown can be done by holding down the power button for a few seconds until the shutdown slideshow is displayed.
Shut down the iPhone from the operating system
To shut down your iPhone directly from the system, open the Settings app, go to the General menu and scroll through the list of options until you find the Shutdown item. After pressing the item, the classic shutdown slide will appear, which we can drag to the right to complete the process. Even with little use, this process helps to shut down the phone without pressing the power button, and it’s useful if we’re having hardware issues with the physical buttons.
Force restart iPhone
If our iPhone seems to be frozen or unable to turn it on or off, then it is better to learn the key combination that we can force restart any iPhone on the market. To restart a locked iPhone, we can follow these steps:
iPhone X or later: Quickly press and release the Volume Up key, quickly press and release the Volume Down key, and finally press and hold the Side key. We also release the side button once we notice the Apple logo.
iPhone 8 or iPhone SE (2nd generation): Also in this case, we quickly press and release the volume up key, press and quickly release the volume down key and hold the side key. When we see the Apple logo, we can release the key.
iPhone 7: Press and hold the Volume Down key and the Standby/Wake key at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, we release both keys.
iPhone 6s or iPhone SE (1st gen): On these phones, we press and hold the Standby/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. Once we see the Apple logo appear, we release the keys.
How to turn off a locked iPhone
The side buttons usually don’t work if our iPhone gets stuck on startup, along with the force unlock procedure seen above. In this case, we recommend that you first charge the phone by connecting it to a PC with iTunes via a cable; after about 2 hours, we can use the program to enter Apple’s DFU mode. The keys to enter this special mode are as follows:
On iPhones prior to iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Plus (with mechanical Home button): We were afraid to press the power button for about 3 seconds, and immediately after that we also held the Home button (without releasing the button) for about 10 seconds, we Release the button power and press and hold the home button for about 8 seconds.
On iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Plus (with virtual Home button): The process is the same as seen above, the only difference is that we have to use the Power and Volume Down keys instead of Power and Home .
On iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X and later: Press Volume Up once, then immediately press Volume Down once (two touches must be quick) and hold the side button until the iPhone screen goes black. When the screen goes black, release the side button and hold the side button and volume down button at the same time for about 5 seconds; after 5 seconds, we only release the side button and keep pressing the volume down button until a warning message appears on iTunes.
