Force restart your phone:
The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky.

So you did the tap “volume up” then “tap volume down” and then “hold the power button till you see an Apple logo”. Important- You must hold the power button till you see the Apple logo could take a minute or the action won’t finish. This restarts your iPhone and clears the cache. I recommend to remove the app that caused this error when you iPhone reboots. Let me know if this works for you or if you have already performed the complete function. You would normally see a power off slide switch just ignore that to completely clear the cache and reboot.
Still wont work… just keeps turning Siri on off and screen goes black and then on ugh
Do it very carefully, follow the instructions exactly. That button sequence invokes a low level reboot in firmware. If it doesn’t work your phone has a hardware problem.
iPhone 12 still wont shut off or let me in apps just keeps flashing on off black screen or turning Siri on and hard to tap any apps like frozen or stuck
