Hi there mdougherty25,


If your iPhone isn't responding and you're unable to restart it normally, you'll want to try force restarting it to see if that resolves the issue for you. You can follow these steps to force restart your iPhone:


On your iPhone 8 or later, including iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation)
1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
3. Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
An animation of an iPhone with arrows pointing to the volume up button, then to the volume down button, and then to the side button.

You'll find this information here: If your iPhone won't turn on or is frozen


Take care.
