Here\u2019s how to do it using three buttons on your iPhone 12.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Forced_Restart\"><\/span>What Is a Forced Restart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When your iPhone becomes unresponsive, it might not respond to taps on the screen, and it won\u2019t shut down in the usual way. But not all hope is lost. To fix that, you can try forcing it to restart, which avoids most of the usual software-powered iPhone shut down routines and does a hardware restart at a lower level.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that a forced restart should be a rare event reserved only for emergencies. Most of the time, you\u2019ll want to shut down your iPhone the regular way. Also, a forced restart should not be confused with a factory reset. The forced restart you\u2019re about to perform will not erase any data stored on your iPhone.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Force_an_iPhone_12_to_Restart\"><\/span>How to Force an iPhone 12 to Restart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To do a forced restart on your iPhone 12, you\u2019ll need to press three buttons on the side of your device rapidly, one after another. On the last press, keep holding the button.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what to do: Hold your iPhone 12 in your hand. Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button (on the right edge of the device). Keep holding the Side button until you see the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le logo appear on the screen.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-826293\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/iphone_12_force_restart_1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"469\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once you see the Apple logo, you\u2019ll know you have pressed the sequence property. If you didn\u2019t get it right the first time, keep trying. Try to press each button (1, 2, 3) at an even pace, but quickly.<\/p>\n<p>After you get it, your iPhone may take longer to start up than usual. That\u2019s because it needs to completely restart the operating system and tidy things up for use. After a few moments, you should see the lock screen. Then you can use your iPhone 12 as usual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Force Restart Any iPhone or iPad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Troubleshooting_Tips\"><\/span>More Troubleshooting Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you performed the hard reset and you\u2019re still having trouble, you might need to put your iPhone into recovery mode and use iTunes (on Windows) or Finder (on Mac) to update or factory reset it. Unfortunately, a factory reset will lose any data stored on the iPhone. In the future, perform regular backups to keep your iPhone data safe.<\/p>\n<p>If your iPhone 12 hangs, freezes, or experiences bugs often, try updating your iPhone to the latest version of the iOS operating system.
