iPhone won’t open apps or turn off


My iphone x will not turn off, & I can’t open any apps, not even settings. It won’t let me use buttons on the side to force a shutdown either. I can still swipe from screen to screen, just can’t open anything...

iPhone XR

Hi there Susy


Try this:

Press volume up, volume down (don't keep pressing, just one time each)... then press side button and keep it hold till you see the apple logo on screen.


Hope that helps

Martin
