Force Quit, Hard Reset

E-mail Print PDF

The iPhone is pretty darned simple and stable, but it’s still a computer. In times of troubleshooting, these tips may come in handy:

Force quit a program. Press and hold the Home button for six seconds to force-quit a program that seems to be stuck.

Hard reset. If the entire iPhone locks up—it can happen—press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake switch for eight seconds. You’ll see the screen go black, and then the Apple logo appears as the iPhone reboots.
