Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

Ensure the device is charged for at least 30 minutes using a known working cable and power adapter. If the issue persists, 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 the Apple logo appears.

Poor Wi-Fi or Cellular signal

Toggle Wi-Fi or Airplane mode off and on. Ensure you are within range of a Wi-Fi network or have good cellular reception. Reset Network Settings by going to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

App crashing or freezing

Close the app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing in the middle, then swiping the app card up. Reopen the app. If the issue continues, check for app updates in the App Store or uninstall and reinstall the app.

Battery draining quickly

Check Battery usage in Settings to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, disable background app refresh for non-essential apps, and ensure low power mode is enabled if needed.

Face ID not working

Ensure the TrueDepth camera is not obstructed. Clean the camera area. Try resetting Face ID by going to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Reset Face ID, then set it up again.
