Troubleshooting
iPhone isn't turning on
Ensure the battery is charged. Connect your iPhone to a charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, try a force restart: quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then quickly press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
Apps are running slow or crashing
Close background apps by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (or double-pressing the Home button if applicable to the iOS version) and swiping apps away. Ensure your iOS and apps are updated to their latest versions. Check your available storage in `Settings > General > iPhone Storage` and free up space if it's very low.
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi or 4G
For Wi-Fi: Try toggling Wi-Fi off and on in `Settings`. Restart your Wi-Fi router. Forget the network (`Settings > Wi-Fi > [Network Name] > Forget This Network`) and reconnect. For 4G: Toggle Airplane Mode on and off in Control Center. Check with your carrier for service outages. Ensure cellular data is enabled in `Settings > Cellular`.
Battery drains quickly
Go to `Settings > Battery` to see which apps are consuming the most power. Adjust screen brightness, disable 'Raise to Wake', and manage 'Background App Refresh' (`Settings > General > Background App Refresh`). Keep your iPhone updated, as software updates often include battery optimizations.
Face ID is not working
Ensure your face is not obstructed and your device is held at a natural distance. Check `Settings > Face ID & Passcode` to ensure Face ID is set up and enabled for the features you want to use. If issues persist, try resetting Face ID and setting it up again.
