Is your iPhone stuck on the Apple logo? Is it locked in a non-responsive app? In both of these cases, you need to perform a force-quit to get your iPhone up and working again. Thankfully it’s really easy to do and to remember:
- Press and hold the On/Off/Sleep button on the top of your iPhone.
- If you’re in an app, the ‘Slide to Power Off’ slider will appear, then press and hold the Home button below the screen until the app closes.
- If the Apple logo is displayed, you won’t see the slider, but you still need to hold down the Home button at the same time as the On/Off/Sleep key. Do so until the screen goes black, a few seconds usually, and the phone will be switched off.
It’s worth knowing that if you perform a force-quit from the Apple logo, then some of your installed apps will not work until you sync your iPhone with iTunes again. You often get the ‘Your iPhone is Activated’ message when you plug it in too, but don’t worry, none of your content as been affected.
