How to force restart your iphone xr

If you notice that your Apple iPhone XR hangs, stays frozen or "thinking" for a long time, it does not react, perhaps because it is overloaded and you have thought about restarting quickly to free up its 3 GB RAM memory, in just three steps we will indicate you how to restart it.

A restart does not erase any data, it only consists of turning the device off and on again, if you want to erase all the content and restore the factory, consult the following tutorial: How to restore a Apple iPhone XR.

Before restarting, you must bear in mind that you must know the PIN code of the SIM card and the unlock pattern or password of the iPhone XR, since it will request it when it is turned on again.

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

1- First step:

Simultaneously press the unlock button and the volume up button for a few seconds until a screen with several options appears, the first is to turn off, followed by the option to view the medical data and the option to send an emergency SOS request.

How to restart the Apple iPhone XR if it is not responding?

If you cannot restart the Apple iPhone XR since it is blocked and the previous method does not work, we must proceed to turn it off and turn it on again using the physical buttons.

To force a shutdown on your iPhone XR press and hold the power button (or unlock button) for at least 8 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and release the button while it turns on again.

If the device still does not respond and you cannot restart it, it is possible that it is low on enough battery, in that case connect the iPhone XR to its charger and try the procedure again.

If it continues without responding and does not turn on or has entered a loop, it is possible that some internal component such as the motherboard, memory, screen or even the power button has been damaged so you will have to repair it or resort to the warranty.

Apple's newest crop of devices, the iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR don't have a Home button and feature new Side buttons with unique functionality, so Apple has introduced a new method for forcing a quick restart.

It takes a unique combination of button presses to cause your iPhone to restart, and while it's not immediately obvious, once you've learned the steps, a force restart is the quickest way to restart your iPhone if it's acting up.

Hard Resetting iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR

How to force restart your iphone xr

  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 until the Apple logo appears, then release the Side button.

During this process, you will see a slider to power off the iPhone. You're going to want to ignore it and continue holding down the Side button until the screen goes black. At that point, the Apple logo will pop up, and after the restart is complete, the screen will activate once again.

Using the force restart process prevents you from having to shut the iPhone down entirely, which takes several more steps.

If you do want to shut the iPhone down, you can do so by going to the General section of the Settings app, scrolling down to the bottom, and choosing the Shut Down option.

You can also hold down the Volume Up button and the Side button at the same time to bring up the Emergency SOS interface that also houses a "slide to power off" option.
