How to Force Restart an iPhone and Enter Recovery Mode
Your iPhone occasionally encounters errors, bugs, and other problems that require a reset. Force restarting your iPhone is one of the methods to resolve these issues. Recovery mode is another option, allowing you to restore your iPhone to its previous state. The following are the ways to force restart an iPhone and enter recovery mode.
1. Force Restart:
On iPhones with a home button: Press and hold both the power button and the home button simultaneously. Wait for the Apple logo to appear, then release them.
On iPhones without a home button: Press and release the volume up button quickly, then press and release the volume down button quickly. Finally, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Entering Recovery Mode:
1. Attach your iPhone to a computer and open iTunes.
2. To enter Recovery Mode on an iPhone 8 or later, press the volume up button and quickly release it. Then, press the volume down button and quickly release it. Hold the side button until you find the Connect to iTunes screen.
3. To enter Recovery Mode on an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, hold down the power and volume down buttons at the same time until the “Connect to iTunes” message appears.
4. To enter Recovery Mode on an iPhone 6s and earlier models, hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until the “Connect to iTunes” message appears.
After entering Recovery Mode, you can recover lost data, reset your iPhone to its factory state, or restore from a backup.
