Hey guys! I’m Via and welcome back to AppGeeker’s channel.
You’re here because your iPhone X, XS, XS Max, or XR is frozen and want to fix it.
To be honest, it could be pretty frustrating when your iPhone X, XS, XS Max or XR freezes
on the Home screen, becomes unresponsive when running certain
apps, or gets stuck on a black screen or Apple logo
screen after the update. No matter what you try to do, the screen just
remains frozen and doesn’t respond to your touch, tap or button press
But lucky for you! I’m here engaged in unfreezing your iPhone and then it will respond to touch
as normal.
Alright, here’s my iPhone XS that gets frozen on the Home screen and is not responding to
touch. As you can see, the phone is still on and
running. So, the first thing you should try to make
your iPhone work again is to do a hard reset. This can be easily done by pressing the Volume
up button, the Volume down button and then holding the Side button for 20 seconds or
longer time. You will notice that the screen goes black.
When your device displays the Apple logo, let go of the Side button and let it restart.
A hard reset can help refresh the software and wipe clean any system lags.
See, my iPhone XS is responding now and I don’t lose anything.
However, a hard reset just works for fixing some small and general errors.
To completely get out of the frozen screen issues on your iPhone and boost the device
performance, your best bet is to use iOS System Recovery tool.
It’s pretty worth a try if your iPhone stuck on a black screen or stuck on Apple logo screen
after iOS update and won’t turn on or off.
To get the software, go to Appgeeker.com, find iOS System Recovery tool, then download
and install the program on your PC or Mac. Open the software on your computer and in
the starting window, click More tools. Then, go ahead to click iOS System Recovery.
Next, hit the Start button. Now, use a USB cable to attach your iPhone
to the computer. When the phone gets detected, choose Standard
Mode and hit Confirm button. Here, you can see a list of iOS firmware.
Just highlight the latest version and hit Next button to download the firmware.
This may take around 15 minutes to finish, so wait patiently.
OK, now the download is complete. Click the Fix Now button and you're done!
If it still can’t fix the frozen iPhone X, XS, XS Max, or XR, we have more things
to try. If your iPhone gets slow and then keeps freezing
every time you open one or more apps, you should delete the app from your iPhone.
Find the app, long press it, choose remove app, then tap Delete app.
If the phone still is frozen, go ahead to reset the settings.
We do this one last because this step will remove all the Wi-Fi passwords, Bluetooth
devices, Home Screen layout, location settings, and other settings you’ve configured or
return all of them back to their factory settings. So, be sure that you’ve kept a copy of the
personal settings that are essential to you in iTunes or iCloud.
We’ve offered you a detailed guide to do that in the description below.
OK, now let’s go to the Settings app. Then scroll down and tap General.
Next, scroll all the way down to tap Reset. Choose Reset all settings, enter your passcode
and then wait the device to restore all the settings back to their factory defaults.
If all these tips fail to get your iPhone to respond,
it’s time to go to Apple Store and let the genius guy there to check if your frozen iPhone
is the result of physical strike or water damage.
We’ve put a link in the description below to help you find your closest Apple Store
and make an appointment to do the repair.
