How to soft reset your iPhone 8 or 8 Plus

The Apple iPhone is essentially a computer and like many computers, it needs a reboot from time to time. A soft reset forces a reboot and can help when your iPhone slows down or freezes by fully closing down all applications and starting them up again from scratch – this does not mean wiping off everything you have stored.

Astonishingly, soft resets can solve around 90% of iPhone issues and are particularly useful if your device is unresponsive or certain controls aren’t working as expected or if your applications are not responding or are ‘frozen’. For example:

– When the call or text function is not working properly
– When you are having trouble sending or receiving mail.
– When there’s problems with WiFi connectivity.
– When iPhone can’t be detected by iTunes.

The process for the latest Apple iPhone is slightly different.

To conduct a soft reset, follow the steps below:

Hard Reset iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus

Step 1 :- Press the Volume Up button for a few seconds then quickly release it

Step 2 :- Now press and hold down the Volume Down button for a few seconds and quickly release

Step 3 :- Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds. Release the Power button once you see the Apple logo on the screen. Your soft reset process will start.

Step 4 :- Wait for a couple of seconds until your iPhone boots up completely and displays the Lock screen.
