Force restart the iPhone
If your problem is that the iPhone you own has been "literally" paralyzed on a given screen or no longer seems to respond to commands and you would like, therefore, to turn it off and on again to try to cope with the thing but even for this there seems to be no way. , you can try to fix things by force restarting the device. You ask me how? I'll explain it to you right away.
All you have to do is hold down for about ten seconds Power button of the device (which depending on the iPhone model can be on the top or on the right side) and the Home button (the one located in the center below the screen) at the same time until the display turns black. If you are using a iPhone 7 o 7 Plus,, instead of the Home key you have to use the Volume key - (minus symbol), so you have to hold down the keys Power e Volume - (minus symbol) until the phone restarts and the apple logo appears on the screen.
Stai using a iPhone 8, an 8 iPhone Plus or iPhone X, the procedure you have to follow is different from the one just seen together: you have to press and quickly release the Volume + button, press and quickly release the Volume key - and hold down the side button which is on the right until the display turns off and even in this case the apple logo appears on the phone screen.
Then, regardless of the iPhone model you have, release the keys and wait for the iOS operating system to load from scratch. Type, therefore, the unlock code of the device (if enabled) and the possible PIN of the SIM inserted in it, then if everything went the right way and if there are no other problems you should finally be able to use yours normally. "IPhone by".
As you can see for yourself, the procedure to be put into practice is quite simple. In any case, if you think you need more details or in any case if, apart from the forced restart of the device, you want to find out what other systems are available to be able to restart the iPhone you can read my dedicated tutorial, precisely, at how to restart iPhone.
Free up memory
Although the iPhone is perfectly capable of managing RAM allowing users to open multiple and more apps at the same time without having to close them from time to time and without encountering problems, in some cases, especially when the device in use is not exactly brand new, it can still cause some problems creating blocks and various slowdowns. To cope with such a situation, it can therefore be of great help to free the memory "manually". How you do it? Let's find out right away.
To begin with, take your iPhone and unlock it to access the Home Screen, then press and keep pressing the Power button (which depending on the iPhone model can be at the top or on the right side) until you see the lever on the display slide to turn off.
Then release the Power button, then press and continue to hold the Home button for a few moments. By doing this you will be sent back to the Home Screen and the iPhone's RAM will be immediately freed.
And if what you are using is an iPhone X, the procedure to be put into practice is slightly different than what we have seen together above due to the absence of the Home button on the device and the consequent reassignment of the functions of the physical buttons available. So what you have to do in this case is to go to the section Settings for iOS, select Generali e Accessibility, then AssistiveTouch and carry on ON the relative switch attached to the next screen.
Now, go to the screen again Generali, stop on Switch off, presses the icon of AssisteTouch appearance on screen (the light ball with the darker circle around it) and press and hold hold the button Home on the display for a while. Suasively you will be asked to the Home Screen of the "iPhone by" and the memory of the iPhone will be emptied, just as seen above for the previous models of the Apple smartphone.
If you think you need more details, I suggest you take a look at my article on how to hover RAM on iPhone through which I proceeded to talk to you about the matter in even more depth.
