Have you tried a hard reboot of your iPhone?


To perform a hard reboot (also known as a forced restart) on an iPhone with Face ID (iPhone X and later), press and quickly release the volume up button, then press and quickly release the volume down button, and finally, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.
