Hard Reset Your iPhone 11

A hard reset forces your iPhone 11 to quickly turn off and back on again. It’s the iPhone equivalent of pulling the plug of your router out of the wall to restart it.

1. Press and release the volume up button.
2. Press and release the volume down button.
3. Press and hold the side button. Keep holding until the Apple logo appears on the display.

Why this works:

A hard reset can temporarily fix minor software glitches and crashes.

Pro tip:

• You may need to hold the side button for 25–30 seconds.
• These steps also work for the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max.
