If your iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s suddenly freezes and becomes unresponsive, you need to force restart it.
iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus users are dealing with various issues. These include random crashes and freezes. If your device is unresponsive to swipe and tap gestures, you’ll want to force restart it. This is called a force restart or hard reset.
The process is quick and should return your device to normal state. Forcing your iPhone to restart will not delete any data stored on it. It just reboots the device.
If you’ve upgraded to an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s from a non-iPhone family device, or haven’t had to force restart your phone in a while, you may not be aware that it requires the button combination to hard reset your phone.
