Oh ok so I shouldn’t do a force restart if it’s not doing that
GPT-4o mini
Correct! You should only perform a **force restart** if your iPhone is unresponsive or frozen and you can't turn it off normally. If your iPhone is functioning normally, simply restarting it using the standard method is sufficient.
### Normal Restart Method
To restart your iPhone (if it’s working properly):
1. For **iPhone X and later**: Press and hold the **Side** button along with either the **Volume Up** or **Volume Down** button until you see the "slide to power off" slider. Slide it to power off, then press and hold the **Side** button to turn it back on.
2. For **iPhone 8, 7, and 6s/SE**: Press and hold the respective button (Side for 8 or Top for 6s/SE) until you see the "slide to power off" slider. Slide to turn off, then press and hold the button again to turn it back on.
Using a normal restart is the preferred method when your phone is functioning well. Reserve the force restart for situations when the device is not responding.
