If you switched from an iPhone model older than Apple’s iPhone X to an iPhone XR, you might not be familiar with the new button sequence required to restart your smartphone.
You should try restarting your iPhone XR if it suddenly stops working. Usually, this resolves the problem.
It is advised to get a hard reset if your phone freezes and doesn’t respond to gestures. It merely takes a few seconds and should put your phone back in working order. Remember that this won’t erase any of the data on your iPhone XR. It merely requires a reset of your device.
One of the more noticeable faults affecting the iPhone XR is freezes and lockups. In contrast to power drain and connectivity issues, these issues are frequently simple to resolve.
If your iPhone XR keeps locking up, you may need to update your apps through the App Store or look into other potential fixes.
What you must do to unfreeze your iPhone XR is listed below.
