A hard reset abruptly restarts your iPhone 12, turning it off and back on.

Why Should I Hard Reset My iPhone 12?

Hard resets can temporarily fix display issues, but they don't get to the root of the software problem that made your iPhon 12 malfunction to begin with. If your iPhone 12 continues to have problems, we recommend trying a deeper software troubleshooting step like Reset All Settings or a DFU restore.

  1. Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
  2. Quickly press and release the Volume Down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. Keep holding the side button until the display goes black and the Apple logo appears on your iPhone 12.

Pro Tips

  • You may have to press and hold the side button for 25–30 seconds to hard reset your iPhone 12. Keep holding and be patient!
