When using an iPhone, it may become slow or you may need to restart it to resolve a temporary problem.
Restarting the iPhone is a bit troublesome as you have to press and hold the side button after the power is completely turned off.
In fact, by using the shortcut app, you can restart your computer without any troublesome operations.
This time I will show you how to add a restart button to your iPhone using the Shortcuts app.
How to restart iPhone normally
There are three normal ways to restart your iPhone.
use physical buttons
For iPhones without a home button, such as iPhone X or later, press and hold the side button and either volume button until the “Slide to power off” screen appears.
For iPhones with a home button, such as iPhone 8 or earlier or iPhone SE, press and hold the side button or top button until the “Slide to power off” screen appears.
You can turn off your iPhone by swiping the icon on the left side of “Slide to power off” to the right.
Then, wait about 30 seconds, then press and hold the side button or top button until the Apple logo appears.
Shut down the system from the Settings app
You can turn off the power by opening the Settings app, tapping “General” → “Shut down”, and swiping the icon to the left of “Slide to power off” to the right.
Wait about 30 seconds, then press and hold the side button or top button until the Apple logo appears.
Force restart
If your iPhone freezes or won’t turn on, you may want to use a forced restart.
Frequent forced restarts can cause data corruption, failure to start (apple loop), and stress on the battery, so we recommend using this as a last resort when your computer freezes.
On an iPhone with Face ID, press and hold the volume + button once, the volume – button once, and the side button until the Apple logo appears.
For iPhone 7 series, press and hold the side button and volume button at the same time until the Apple logo appears.
For iPhone 6s and earlier, press and hold the home button and side button or top button at the same time until the Apple logo appears.
