My iPhone 13 is stuck. A notification came thru and stayed on my phone. Now when I try to shut it down. I can't, because the notification is blocking it? please help?

My screen is frozen and can't shut it down because a notification popped up in front of the slide bar to shut down and I can't shut it down. should I just wait for my phone to lose power so it will shut down on is own?!

Hello ~ Try it this way…from an excellent prior post by * Axel Foley *…


Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF). 


Take care.
