How to fix a frozen iPhone or iPad?
You won't escape THE question: "Have you tried turning your iPhone off and back on?" Even if it sounds like a joke, turning your iOS off and on again fixes bugs and improves the performance of your iOS or iPadOS.
For more serious technical problems, we recommend that you make an appointment with the Genius Bar at an Apple Store.
Note that very often, repairing your iPhone with an Apple technician will involve deleting your data.
It is therefore vital that you back them up as regularly as possible.
What to do if your iPhone has crashed?
If your iPhone is unresponsive or won't turn on again, don't panic. There is a method that does not require any installation or special knowledge: that of force restarting your iPhone or iPad.
On iPhone 6s or earlier, simultaneously press the Power button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then release.
On iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, press and hold the Power button and the volume down button simultaneously until the Apple icon appears, then release.
On iPhone 8, SE and later models, quickly press the volume up button, then the down button. Next, hold down the Power button until you see the Apple logo, then release.
If after this manipulation nothing seems to change, then a full restore from a backup should be considered.
How to backup your data before erasing everything?
As we mentioned earlier, before resetting your iPhone or iPad, it is essential to back up your data.
It is possible to do this either from your phone through iCloud, or from your Mac through Finder or iTunes.
From iCloud:
Go to Settings, [your account], then tap iCloud.
Enable the iCloud Backup option. This allows you to automate backups of your data.
Tap Backup Now.
This is the easiest method, and only an internet connection is required.
How to reset your iPhone to factory settings?
Did you save everything? Then you are ready to restore to factory settings!
This method consists of a complete cleaning of your iPhone, which is why you should be sure that you have backed up everything.
Often times a factory reset is necessary if your device freezes, malfunctions, or sells. Indeed, if you wish to resell your smartphone, then you will have to clean it thoroughly to prevent your data from being accessible and thus "stolen" by a malicious buyer.
For a factory reset there are two methods
From your iPhone:
Go to Settings → General → Reset.
Select Clear content and settings.
Enter your code.
Select Erase iPhone.
To complete and confirm this operation, you will need to enter your Apple account password.
