Troubleshooting

Device will not turn on

Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power source using the included cable and adapter, or a wireless charger. If it still doesn't turn on, try a force restart: press and quickly release the Volume Up button, press and quickly release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.

Touch ID is not working

Make sure your fingerprint and the Touch ID sensor are clean and dry. Ensure your finger is correctly placed on the sensor. Restart your iPhone. If the issue persists, try removing and re-adding your fingerprints in Settings > Touch ID & Passcode.

Poor Wi-Fi or cellular signal

Check if Airplane mode is off. Restart your iPhone. Move to an area with better signal coverage. Reset Network Settings by going to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings (this will erase saved Wi-Fi passwords).

App crashing or freezing

Close the app and reopen it. Ensure the app and iOS are updated to the latest versions. If the problem continues, delete and reinstall the app.

Battery draining quickly

Check battery usage in Settings > Battery to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, disable background app refresh for non-essential apps, and ensure Wi-Fi is on for faster data transfer. Consider enabling Low Power Mode when battery is low.

Device overheating

Remove any case. Avoid using the device in direct sunlight or in hot environments. Close demanding apps that may be causing excessive processing. If overheating persists, restart the device.
